Did all 97 V8 Camaro's come with a LS1?? I am curious, if a 97 Camaro came with a V8 would it have been a LS1??
They didn't ever have one that came with a LT1 in 1997 did they??

ls1 made it's first appearance in the 97 vette, not until 98 did a f-body ever receive one(well aside from the concepts gm must have built prior to release of the ls fbod)

you sir, are either being sarcastic, or retarded.
The LS1 made its first appearance in the 97 vette, while the camaro kept the LT1 until 98. 98 is also the year the f-body got the new front end (the interior and tail lights got updated in 97)

Yes ser this is correct. Also the LS1 in the 98 is different from the 99+ and then some changes were made in '01. Nothing big just heads, cam, intake mani, oil pump were tweaked a little or changed to the LS6 stuf

while you are technically correct about most of that, the head changes occurred in mid year '00 not '01

The reason I even asked was because I guy in my unit has a 97 Camaro, says it has a LS1, I haven't gotten a chance to even look under the hood yet but I sure thought he was blowing smoke up my A%%.
I was pretty sure they didnt get them until 98.

Then tell him he is wrong. Just make sure you know what to look for so you don't make a *** of yourself.
