I gotta headscratcher Okay so i yanked a 99 5.3 ls with a 24 tooth crank found number 8 rod bearing was toast so bought a new crank ends up this is a 58 tooth crank, it will be a carburated setup with a howards asa cam and I'm planning on a double timing chain so heres my question. What all will i need to get to swap cranks without going to the machine shop?
Just change the reluctor wheel or call Lingenfelter and get their electric doo-hicky that changes the electrons to run the 24 to the 58.
I heated up the reluctor wheel on my crank with a torch and pulled it off and immediately installed it on a new crank. Easy to do.

From what I've read so far on my setup all i have to do is change the cam sensor and cam sprocket then install the crank with a 6ls2 box and it should run, I'm just not 100% on that since i am a fng to ls engines.

Update on this thread y'all, I've hased out he details and i willtalked to a few guys and from what I've heard changing the cam gear, crank sensor then installing a 58 tooth crank will work on my setup. Thanks for everyones input look forward to getting to know you guys.
IGN-8 Ignition Box Hi Thef, you ALSO have a choice of fitting MY IGN-8 ignition box as it was made for the GM 58x (60-2 in 1986) Target Wheel as I was a member of the inventor team. (US Patent expired 2006)
This is what we PML/Wegner used when the LS "carbe" intakes were designed/dyno tested for GMPP.
The COST would be lower with better Spark Accuracy. (24xe = 2 degrees/58x = 1/4 degree accuracy)
THOSE who state a 24xe change is just BAD TECH.
The IGN-8 box ALSO has TWO GPIO's great for NOS, VVT, etc.
I would fit a Single Chain, my Avon Gear part as this is stronger that a DR.
