Any information on mounting a 58x reluctor to FRONT of Gen III?

I've been away from this forum for awhile and...
...I have an extremely low mileage 2004 5.3l; I'm mounting a 6L80e behind it, thus the need for a 58x reluctor. I know that I can change out the 24x for the 58x on the crankshaft with the appropriate camshaft sensor hardware...but I was wondering if there has been any work done on a front mounted 58x...no sense reinventing the wheel.

I think the OP wants to do this to avoid removing the crank-and everything else bolted to it.
Fauxgs, there are adapters to convert a 58x signal to a 24 x signal but not the other way around.
I've never heard of a reluctor wheel for mounting externally on the front of an LS motor so I think you'll be taking that motor apart.
It does look like you've done your homework-the 6 speed autos need a newer 58x PCM with CAN.
