58x LT1 on Test Stand We're finalizing our 58x conversion packages for SBC/BBC/LT1 and took a video of the LT1 running on the test stand today with 2008 Corvette ECM.
This is not an ideal ECM to run in a 93-97 F-body. The LS1 PCM (24x crank reluctor) is much better suited to the 4th gen F-body.

The cost won't be known until all pieces are into final production. But because 58x systems require electronic throttle, it will cost more than the 24x route with cable throttle.

Our business is about supporting engine swaps (and in some cases production vehicles looking for upgrades).
For an engine swapper (street rod, truck, sand rail, boat, etc), the best time to consider an ignition upgrade on the LT1 is before money has been spent on a new optispark, coil, engine harness, and PCM calibration.
If I had a 93-97 F-body, I would probably not bother with a 58x ECM.
Fair question.

That could be fun
