what year was ls1 first introduced?
Re: what year was ls1 first introduced? you didnt give me an email address (mividalowcar) But to answer your question the internal parts do differ. The C5 has a different cam than the f bodies, the crankshaft is the same, as of 01-02 the F bodies have the LS6 intake, previously they had the LS1 intake. Does that answer your question?

Re: what year was ls1 first introduced? Yup that is correct because I remember going with my dad to order his on March 14, 1997, that was one week after they were first available to the public...........
