No, it wont be compatible with your computer (58x), nor will the cam sensor, knock sensors. There's no 24x to 58x converter that Im aware of.

Most likely no. If the LQ4 has a 24 tooth reluctor wheel, which it should being still labeled and LQ4 (if it was a Gen IV it should be a LY6 or L76), it would need to be changed to a 58 tooth reluctor to be compatible with the electronics in the '08. You will have other issues as well with the knock sensors and camshaft position sensor, as they are relocated from the Gen III's to Gen IV's. The sensors can be handled by extending or modifying the harnesses though. There are harnesses available to put Gen IV's in the place of Gen III's, but I have never seen any to go the other way. People tend to put newer motors in their vehicles, not older.

GMCtrk you beat me to the punch, but it looks as if we have the same opinion.
