LS1 98 Camaro Engine Block
Is it exactly the same as the vette Ls1?
99% sure it is, but want to be 100% sure before I buy it.
Sorry for the dumb question.
TIA

It should be, but it's not the most desirable of block years.

The wall material is thinner in the older blocks. Don't plan on overboring without replacing sleaves.

If it matters I believe the oil pans are different.

Are you getting it for real cheap? If not, pick up a LS6 or put that money in your present LS1. Unless your engine is shot... my .02c
