Have you had any problems with the Lingenfelter reluctor wheel converter?
I want to do the LS3 swap but was actually thinking of having a shop change the reluctor wheel so I didn't have to rely on a module for my Daily Driver...
But in the end its almost the same $ as getting a budget build Gen III from a vendor with custom internals...
I am just planning for when my LS6 takes a dump.

Had a week delay but things are moving forward again.
I decided to replace the Mantic Er2 Clutch (with only 32k miles) for a brand new Mantic Er2. Took 5 days to get here.
Now, the only thing I'm missing, which I just found out today, is the MAP extension harness.
She's getting closer.

You need a bunch of stuff.
Various adapters for the knock sensors and cam positioning sensor. I used all racetronixs parts.
A Lingenfelter converter box for the reluctor wheel if you dont swap it out for a 58X
LS2 Silver Blade Throttle Body
The ECU can be tuned for the larger motor - Once the new motor is in - it will need a base tune for the new parameters. It will run like **** if you dont.
Various while the motor is out stuff.
Serpentine Belt
Engine Fans
AC Belt
New Clutch
New Radiator (I went Dewitts with an oil cooler)
Check all rollers/pulleys/tensioners
AC Compressor/Accumulator
Motor Mounts
Deep Cleaning of the engine bay
Off the top of my head, that's all I can remember.
One last item - I had to get new tires too. I went with 305-35-18 on the rears. Couldn't hook up on the old set.
