Default need help necessary

Hi, I want to moving a 408' LS2 engine from a Camaro SS to a Corvette C6.
The problem is that the reluctor wheel on the crank is a 24 tooth in a Camaro SS, when installed in a C6 it needs to be 58tooth , there any other options like a conversion box you put on the sensor cable tricking the computer to think it is a 58tooth or anything custom or any solution


thanks, Mohammed.

If there is, I've nover heard of it. Why not just pull the crank out and change the relucter wheel??

A simplier solution would be to look at a 243 ECM. It was used on 04 GTO's, Vettes, and trucks. This ecm was used on the truck side all the way until 07 which means it should have a 56 tooth reluctor. A tune should require a new ECM for about a $100 and a repin to the new ECU and tune. It sounds easier than changing out the reluctor.

Here is a link to the converter https://ls1tech.com/forums/new-produ...er-module.html

I would look at swapping the PCM as stated - that should be fairly easy and it doesn't look like you have any emissions worries

However, the 24x LS2 ECM would not plug in to the wiring harness that is in the car now, and would require changing all of the computer plugs and rewiring.
I guess it depends on what sounds easier...
1. Change the crankshaft reluctor ring, or
2. Rewire the computer connectors, install new computer

A conversion box does not exist to convert a 24 tooth engine to 58 tooth, only the other way around.
