If what I'm hearing about Challanger is true, then we'll HAVE to offer the LS7 in the Camaro.
An LS7 would be awesome but Chevy has made it pretty clear in the past that the Vette will stay on top as far as hp and performance. It's probably a safe bet that one of the V8's will be the 5.3 DOD engine, the other is anyone's guess.
Well they could easilly offer an LS7 with a slightly different state of tune that put's it's output below that of the ZO6. In similar fashion as Porsche offering the Cayman with more power than a Boxster, yet a bit less than a 911.
V8s will probably be a 5.3L base and the new LS3 (6.2L) being the performance version.

I'm guessing there will be 3 engines as well....but I don't think that 5.3 will be one of them. For sure there will be a V6 (you have to have that one). The next will be LS2. And lastly, a dialed down LS7. Corvette will probably see a significant horsepower upgrade when Camaro debuts and right about that time we should see a new powerplant going into Z06 to distance itself from the LS7 Camaro.
Of course these are just guesses.
