whats the difference??
ok what is the difference between the: LS1,LT1,LT4,LS2,LS7 and any other one that I left out
I have been lookin at camaros lately and they look like cool cars that can be had for a good price
also I am planning an engine swap with a chevy 1/2 ton pickup and drop one of the LS or LT motors in it since I am a truck guy

God that is a broad question...
LT1, Iron block, Iron or Aluminum heads, 350ci, 1992-1997 came in C4 vetts, f-bodys, b-bodys.
LT4, the "hot" version of the LT1, came in Grand-sport vetts.
LS1, Aluminum block and heads, 346ci, 1997-2004, came in C5 vetts and f-bodys.
LS6, "hot" version of LS1, came in C5 Z06 vetts.
LS2, Aluminum block and heads, 36ci, 2004-? came in 04 GTO's, C6 vetts.
LS7, Aluminum block and heads, 427ci, 2006-? Comes in C6 Z06 vetts.
LS3, Aluminum block and heads, 327ci, 2005-? Comes in FWD W-bodys.
LQ4/LQ9 Iron block, ? Heads, 327/364ci, Basically an Iron block LS1 for trucks.
Thats about all the info I'm willing to type out... try a search for more specific answers.

carbed LG4 w/ 180 horses I guess could count as a notable recent v8. Though it was carbed instead of modern fuel injection. In that case, that opens the door to alot of other combos, but I doubt the originating poster cares.

for 8kish
try www.autotrader.com that way you can try to deal w/ a private seller. plus i'm sure theres plenty to buy here.
you'll want to look at the 98+ f-bodies for those power levels. 400hp at the crank can be done w/ a cam, and long tubes, nothing big. 400 at the wheels, would take, cam, long tubes, a tune, and "243" casting heads, or other better than stock heads, even ported stockers.
as for the old big blocks
LS-4, Iron Block, Iron Heads, 454ci, 1973-1974, 270-275hp
LS-5, Iron Block, Iron Heads, 454ci, 1970-1973, 270-390hp
LS-6, Iron Block, Iron Heads, 454ci, 1970-1971, 425-450hp
LS-7, Iron Block, Iron Heads, 454ci, 1970?? , 470-600hp

kinda lookin at camaro's but my dream car (well truck really) is the chevy 1500 pickup the 1989 body style( I like that one for some reason) and drop an LS1 in it with some mod's of course that should make a pretty cool truck
