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?

 

yes

here's what you need

Well it seems that there is nth like that around it is only the other way around (from 58x to 24x)

 

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.

 

Okay that is the option i have in mind now and the engine ge is totally apart now the problem is i cant find a workshop that can do that they r just “too scared” it wont work and they wont be able to get it aligned right
so if you have any ideas if how i can do it myself or sth i will be glad
Ps
thnx for the quick reply man i really appreciate it

 

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.
