Default putting a ls1 into a tbss

im looking into getting a tbss with a blown motor. i have a 383 ls from my camaro that i have just sitting around. what would it take to put that in the tbss? i know the cam sensor needs an extension but will the pcm harness etc from the tbss work? anything else i would have to do?

It depends on the year of the TBSS. 2005 & 2006 TBSS used the 24 x crankshaft reluctor wheels. 2007 & up, 58x.

The vehicle is 58x. You'll need to swap the crank to a 58x and the cam gear to 4x and the front cover to accept the front cam sensor. Plus the above mentioned block side knock sensors.

Yea i knew id have to switch to a 58. Just curious if i can tune for the different knock signals. Thanks for the referral but i already have a local machine shop that did my 383 and a few other things for me

The PCM works off these signals. There's no adapting between the two.

Lingenfelter makes an adapter but it's the other way around.
