Default LS2 conversion questions (LS1--->LS2)

I searched around and called around and I can't find definitive answers to the following questions:

1. If you relocate the kock sensors from the valley (LS1) to the sides of the block (LS2), can the LS1 computer still use them? I know you can wire them up, what I don't know is if they will still work.

2. The 2006+ :S2 blocks use a 58 tooth reluctor wheel on the crankshaft and the LS1 computer is expecting 24 teeth - any way to solve this?


Thanks for any help or direction where to find the answers.

If this has been covered I apologize in advance.

Thank you. I just ordered some of your rod bolts.

Swapping the reluctor makes a rebuild of my ls1 block (or the use of a truck block or the use of a blower) more appealing.
