Default LQ4/9 in 99 C5

Ive been kickin around the idea of putting together a lq4/9 setup for my 99 C5. Trying to see what all parts can still be used from the LS1 and what all will be needed. What needs to be modded?I know you need a 24 tooth reluctor ring. What about knock sensors? Thanks for your help guys

Lots of LQ swaps, search the conversion page too. Pre 07 iron engines should all be 24 x. Everything will swap over. The PS/alt bracket for f body is missing a hole in the block that can be drilled/tapped. Not sure on the vette accessories.
