GM reuses its engine names from time to time. The original LS6 was a solid roller 454 that was a very rare option for the C3. The only combined technology is the fact both have spark plugs. Look at the C7 engine, arent they calling that the LT1. Reused from the C4 era.

If you have a 2001 Z06, you have the LS6 motor in it - 385 hp.

The LT1 was also a C3 small block solid lifter engine so there are now three different LT1s.
