Ok I know the intake/oil pan/ and acc. have to be changed...the question thats got me is....the motor is out of a 06 TB SS..the reluctor wheel needs to be changed...RIGHT!!! cause the shop is tellin me its fine!!!!! the swap is the same as doing the L76/LS3-LQ4/Lq9 swaps right...

 

05 and newer engines to my knowledge will have the 58x reluctor wheel.

A quick way to tell if it needs to be changed is by checking the reluctor wheel itself to see If it has 2 rows of teeth. If it does have 2 rows of teeth on it, it's a 24x ls1 style reluctor wheel and it's what you need.

The 58x reluctor wheels will only have 1 set of teeth. (Not 2 rows of teeth)

If for any reason you end up with a 58x reluctor wheel and you can't get a 24x reluctor wheel you can always buy a converter box from Lingenfelter for around $250.00.

Also, the reluctor wheel has to be pressed onto and off of the crankshaft in case you didn't know. Most shops will charge roughly $75.00-$125.00 to do this.
Hope that helps....

05s still had 24x 06 can be either 58 or 24. all 07 and up is 58x

 

Most '06s should be 58x...and yeah just check the crank sensor...Black= 24x Grey=58x.....If it is 58x you can just buy a convertor box from Lingenfelter...That would be easier than disassembling the entire engine...

 

thanks for the input and info guys ill go check it out

 

06 TBSS is 24x, 07-09 is 58x.
