actually if its 24-1 crank sensor for ls1... you need a total of 48 teeth on the cam.... cam spins once for every 2 crank revolutions.

LS on 808 would be awesome, I wonder why I havn't heard anyone try that before.
logic tells me a suitable crank trigger and cam sensor, VL's ignition module and 808.

I think the cam sensor would be optional just run the 8 coils in wasted spark worst case. Provided the LS trigger wheel is a missing tooth but I'm not sure on that.
If I had to much money I'd do that just to say it was done.
Crowd funding?

Lots of info here, even though most is for a V6 ..

The user took info but never finished off the thread, went on to sell kits instead.

LT1s use the dreaded Optispark instead of a crank sensor and the LS1s use a 24x reluctor /crank sensor and a cam sensor 1x reluctor. The PCMs are completely different so there is no chance of adapting any on the flash
There were some LT1 boats that used a waste spark system with a reluctor on the crank hub and dual crank sensors mounted where the Opti lived i think they used the MEFI-4 ecu
The Lt1 24x conversion uses a crank mounted reluctor and a 1X cam sensor that allows the use of a LS1 ecu.

just to bring this thread back to life I was thinking if putting the pcm into low res mode and using the dizzy as the trigger it should work as the ecu will be in waste spark and only need 4 teeth per rev of crank true ?.. maybe correct me if I'm wrong..

Correct, 4 crank teeth or 8 dizzy teeth do the same job on 8 cyl. Dizzy has more slop in the drive so its generally not as accurate.

I know running an LS1 ecu on the V6 ecotec engine can be done.
As i have dont it in the past..
Not to hard at all

Some ls1 truck and van calibrations were 4x dizzy triggered no coil on plug but still 411 ecu
