I'd imagine similar changes are in place for the eventual LT V8 replacements.
Yup. That's exactly my point. As much as we might not have liked the old "Corvette has to get it first" days, it is even more prevalent with regards to Cadillac and the rest of GM. Thankfully, Camaro doesn't have to "dumb down" for Corvette anymore, but EVERYBODY has to step aside for Cadillac exclusive bits. The 3.0TT...the 3.6TT...now the 4.2TT.

There is always the possibility that Corvette and/or Camaro could get a different variant of the same engine family, but I think it is highly unlikely that this engine as discussed in Wednesday's CT6 V-Sport reveal finds its way into anything without a Cadillac crest.
