ive been searching up and down and have not found the hardcore info I need in order to do this swap.


I have a 05' 6.0 this is a gen3 engine with 1x cam sensor and 24x crank signal, 3bolt cam.

I want to use the ls9 cam which is a gen4 type engine with a 4x cam sensor and a 58x crank signal 1bolt cam.


I have all of the parts needed to do this swap but unsure if it will fire with the stock computer system.

do they make a 1bolt cam gear with 1x cam signal on it so that I can run the stock pcm as if it had a stock cam with 1x rear sensor? and just add timing cover with sensor and extend harness and that all?


is there any way to retain the stock 24x crank signal and use the ls9 cam is whati am asking? is there a timing gear for this cam with a 1x signal?

 

so after searching I would need the following:

1x/3bolt cam sprocket : 12576407
ls9 cam : 12638427
ls2 front timing cover kit : 12633906
(which comes with cover,cam sensor and bolt,gasket,seal and sensor harness extension)
ls2 timing chain : 12586482


besides having to extend the wires from my harness to reach the new sensor location hat other parts do I need?

 

the sensor starting in 2005 oe 2006 is located in the timing cover and the reluctor is on the cam gear . the ls2 cam is the proper configuration . so to use a 4th gen cam with a 3rd gen computer you'll also need the newer timing cover with sensor and to lengthen the cam sensor wiring harness (3 wires) and switch the 2 outside wires and then you'll br good to go

 

ok does the ls2 cam sensor work with this conversion or do I need another sensor?
