Yall are probably going to hate me/ ban me/ and not talk to me anymore lol but this is going to be CARBED. in a 92 rcsb. I was planing on using the 6012 box with the 58x wheel. If I can just swap the wheel that would be great. I dont want to put this engine back together and this little chip cause problems with cranking and firing the coils.

Nah, that's cool...it's different. Personally, I've owned enough carbureted vehicles in my lifetime, and I'm hooked on EFI now. It's nice to be able to make adjustments on the fly from the comfort of the cab instead of bending over under the hood, but to each his own 
I'd definitely swap that wheel...is the 6012 box the 58x to 24x converter box? If that was the plan, just swap on the 24x wheel and spend the dough for the box on something else

So keep the crank and swap the wheel? Which one would you choose 24x or 58x? I haven't bought a box yet so I guess I could do whichever.

Well I guess if this is going into a 92 it doesn't matter which wheel you use since you'll be using a stand alone ignition setup. If you ever decide to sell the longblock in the future though, it might be easier with the 54x wheel since that was it's original equipment, and is consistent with the rest of the sensors on the block such as the cam and knock sensors which are located in different places than the engines with the 24x wheel. Since I assume that you will be leaving those sensors in their original locations, I'd go with the 54x in this situation.

he cant leave the knock sensors in the stock location. he has to drill the side of the block where the gen 4 knock sensors go to a 10x1.5mm thread and use the 99-06 knock sensors. after he drills the block he cant go back to the gen 4 knock sensors bc the holes are different. so actually itd be easier to sell it as a 24x motor vs a 58x motor.

not using knock sensors. again, hate me/ bash me but all the guys on ls1tech in the carb section dont run them. I might would consider it if it was plug and play but im not drilling the side of the block. Thanks for helping me try and figure all this out.
