Default Where can I get a 24x wheel?

Like the title says, I need a 24x wheel. I tried ordering one from the dealer but it's on backorder.

Does anyone have any ideas or one they want to sell me?

Why dont you just buy a whole tear out spare engine from a local wrecker? I've seen blown or burnt 4.8's and 5.3's go for as low as $100.00 and who cares the reluctor will be okay if the engine is still in one piece. Ive seen complete 4.8 longblocks at local yards in good working order for $250.00 etc. and I havent even really "looked" for a great deal this is asking price. Plus you get a bunch of spare bits and pieces, nuts bolts etc. that can come in handy if you go this route. Just a thought

That's always an option but I'm trying to avoid paying $100 for a reluctor wheel. Plus I don't want to deal with a whole engine's worth of junk for one little part.

Fair enough. Im sure Champion motors ( site sponsor ) has one but they are local to Toronto. Not too far from you though. I cant think of any LSx engine builders in your area. Good luck any which way you go dude
