CTS-V gets LSA essentially a detuned LS9, Camaro gets LSA With more power,
Corvette no longer uses LS7, Camaro gets LS7
Corvette got LT1, Camaro got LT1,
Z06 got LT4, CTS V got LT4 (Detuned), Camaro ZL1 Gets LT4,
Halo Corvette gets LS9 Camaro never go it
Past history suggests Camaro will only share what is there, but if its for the Halo corvette, it wont get shared. Also if the new LT whatever is F/I that doesn't fit the narrative for a new Z/28

Made some fixes to that since you had them out of order and added the important "detuning era" when the Corvette was protected aggressively. Maybe it still is to some extent but there's clearly a change in the old behaviors.
Also it should be noted the LS9 never appeared in a Vette either. The LSA was developed from groundwork on the LS9 (Yes I know there are major differences but they both represented the first S/C GM engines of the modern era). So maybe a 2019 Camaro won't get the same engine in the new ZR1, but it may get another derivative like the LSA. That definitely fits past history at least. Could end up being a replacement for the LT4 altogether. But I am more interested in rumors of a DOHC NA motor making north of 500hp for the C8. Which is much easier to see trickling down to the Camaro at some point.
Also the LS9 is the only example a halo Vette engine not making it to a Camaro. Even the original LT4 made it's way into a few anniversary Camaros in '97, but again...as the Vette switched to a new engine the LS1.
