    Default E40 ECU issue PLEASE HELP

    I have a GTO with a E40 ECU and put a LS3 crate motor in it. I herd using EFI Live it is possible to make the E40 ECU work with the ls3 reluctor and cam gear without using the lingenfelter box. TRUE/FALSE?

    E40 runs LS2 having 24x/1x reluctors;

    E38 runs LS2 and LS3 having 58x/4x reluctors;

    ( there were two different LS2's )

    E40 will not run LS3 unless you use the LPE converter (or physically swap the reluctors).

    Hi John.

    Without looking at wiring diagrams, I remember that E38 and E40 are pinned different.
