Now dont go thinking you can just drop in an l5p hook up the electronics and turn the key. Not going to happen. To do this it requires complete disassembly of the engine to fire the injectors among a fist full of other challenges.
I am in the process of my second L5Z swap. This one is to be the ZF6 edition. Looking for mentors, sponsors
Did it require a customer made tone ring then?

Is it running the original 6 speed or the newer 10 speed?

Both. I checked around. Best I came up with was a "maybe" but it would take 40+hrs of coding to write and they were not certain it would work. So I chose the mechanical option as I was certain I could make that work. A program/reflash or notched front balancer would be easier but until then.... its a complete teardown.

Love the build. Couple years back I saw Banks LBZ/LMM to L5P setup on a shop tour. Never noticed the reluctor ring, but is it the crank tooth difference only, or cam also? Wonder if we could change the pulse count in the ECM with a cax file easier..

Been dying to drop an l5P one in a boat, soon as I finish the one I'm wrapping up now.

I agree the new trigger is down and dirty way to go. So far I've successfully done cax files for map scaling and a 12khz maf off the vette. Ring tooth count could be in a2l, or not. IF found full source, I know some people over in India who code really really cheap. I'd toss a 5 or 10 at it, then sell it back to B... lol

This thing looks and I'm sure runs awesome.
I/we at the shop (Tommy's Auto in Springville, UT) were talking about doing a similar swap just today. So I did a little searching and found you.
I'm wanting to put the complete rolling chassis from the 2023 L5P under a 2006.
I'd love to get a better understanding of what it takes to make it happen.
I've read the forum about your build but still not 100% sure of how some of it was done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
