LT1 difference
I bought a pickup truck with a 1996 Corvette LT1 with suffix YSS. I am beginning to think itīs from a Camaro and the seller says itīs the same engine. Is that true?

Corvette had 4 bolt mains. Camaro and B-Bodys had 2 bolt main LT1. Corvette and Camaro had aluminum heads. Different cams in each and the Vette LT1 made more HP than the other body types
"y" body = vette
"y" body = vette

Some corvette guru's early on incorrectly spread that information and it has stuck in the community ever since.

wheeeeeew..... LT4 f-bodies are some rare S.....
The LT4 was available on the following vehicles:
1996 Chevrolet Corvette when equipped with 6-speed manual transmission (includes all Grand Sports) (Production: 6,359)
1997 Chevrolet Camaro SLP/LT4 SS 6-speed (Production: 100 for the U.S., 6 for Canada. There were 2 prototypes)
1997 Pontiac Firebird SLP/LT4 Firehawk 6-speed (Production: 29)
All 135 production engines for the Firehawks and Camaro SS were completely disassembled, balanced, blueprinted and honed with stress plates. One in 5 engines was tested on a Superflow engine dyno and every car was tested on a chassis dyno in addition to performing a short 6-mile (10 km) road test.

It was supposed to be understood- the LT4 "option" amongst the LT1 vettes for the consumer who may be looking for one on a used car lot. I will try not to disappoint you next time, Ed!
