The LT1 was introduced in 1992, and was used until 1996. The LT1 was used mostly in Buick Roadmasters, Chevrolet Capreices, and Cadillac Fleetwoods. There were performance versions used in Chevrolet Corvette and Camaro, and Pontiac Firebirds produced between '92 and '97. The engines used with Cadillac, Buick, and the Chevrolet Caprice featured cast iron heads, while the performance version features aluminum heads with a cast iron block.
The LS1 was first used by the Corvette in 1997 and then introduced in the Camaro and Trans Am in 1998; Chevrolet stopped using the LS1 in 2004, but Holden (a subsidiary of GM based in Australia) still uses it. The LS1 was only used for performance applications, and and was only offered with a cast aluminum block.
The blocks and heads are not interchangeable between the two engines. Most LT1's are OBD-I compatible (produced before 1996) and all LS1's are OBD-II compliant (produced after 1995), so the engine electronics and computers are not interchangeable either. The LS1 is an entirely different engine from the LT1.
