Crank without a reluctor wheel question Can I use an external crank trigger in place of a reluctor wheel and still retain the factory ecu? The crank I'm going to be picking up doesn't have a reluctor wheel and can't have one added.

Its not a flaw in the crank. It was made that way. Its a race crank, I just need to know if it can be made to use with the stock ecu. To my knowledge an external crank trigger needs an aftermarket ecu, but I'm trying to find out out if its possible not to go that route

If you mounted a gm crank wheel on the front of the crank and had a mount for the magnetic pickup made I suppose the pcm would not know the difference...they are lined up with the rod throws all at 90 degrees.

I've heard of a balancer than is made so you can mount it to it, but I havent been able to find any info on it. I'd rather not machine something for it, but I suppose I could.
