LS2 to LS1 style crank trigger help

I have a 2006 Corvette and I got a deal on a LS3 block with a LS1 style stroker assembly. Problem is the crank has the 24x crank trigger and I have the 58x LS2 trigger. I know LPE sells the 24x to 58x converter but will it work vise versa? If not what can I do other then buy a stand alone?

The motor is fully assembled so putting the 58x reluctor on the crank is not an option. I'd rather buy a stand alone before I went through all that trouble.

That will only work if you're willing to dump your FI and go with a carb. They can be used with FI, but will need the proper reluctor to function. You seem dead set against doing the obvious thing, changing the reluctor...

Not in a C6 corvette. Different animal as far as the PCM, won't interchange and interface with the bus. Standalone will be a bitch and cost more than swapping wheels.

Sounds like it's going to have to go to the machine shop. Pull the crank and swap reluctor wheels.
