240x with 6L80 So Im working on my first project car ever... its a 2011 caprice ( which is a ppv in the US) it already have a 6L80 and Im planing to put a 5.3 engine in it (future turbo project)
the 5.3 engine is outta of a 2003 tahoe so it have 24x crank plate... so is there is anyway i can link between the 24x engine with the 6L80 (besides purchasing a holly or an aftermarket ecu)? If not how can i replace the crank reluctor and make sure it fits correctly?

lingenfelter used to make a 24-58 kit
I don't think they ever mass produced it...the resolution difference between the 24 and 58 just doesn't work...the 58 is much higher res
So, your next option is to swap the crank trigger wheel. Requires the crank to come out.

You can buy the alignment tool online. Use a torch and get the ring hot...it taps right off with a small hammer
If you don't want to buy the tool...you can carefully mark your old one before you take it off and then use the marks to align it to the new one
Once it is on I would toss a couple tack welds on so it doesn't move

Any Automotive machine shop (especially if they perform crankshaft work) should have no problem installing the reluctor on the crankshaft, measuring and setting the allowable run-out.
If an automotive machine shop states to you: "I am afraid to complete this task" Then Take your **** and run, because if completing such a simple task proves to be that intimidating then they have no business doing any further engine work for you. Sorry to say it... Time to find another shop.
