[1]Early hot rodders had it made, when swapping an engine was as simple as hooking up a few wires and a throttle connection. These days all the wires and computers can make things very complicated. Lingenfelter Performance Engineering’s [2] trigger conversion module allows Gen IV engines like the LS3 and LS7 to be more easily swapped into cars like the 97-2002 Corvette or ’98-2002 Camaro without having to change the camshaft timing gear or crankshaft reluctor wheel. The plug-and-play design of the conversion module allows the otherwise-incompatible crank trigger signal from the late-model engine to properly interface with the earlier LS1-style harness.

LINGENFELTER PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING OFFERS NEW TRIGGER CONVERSION MODULE
DECATUR, Ind. – Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) offers the TRG-002 58X to 24X Trigger Conversion Module that allows Gen IV General Motors V8 engines – such as the LS7 or LS3 – to be installed in earlier vehicles like the 1997-2005 Corvette or 1998-2002 Camaro or Firebird without having to disassemble the engine to change the camshaft timing gear or crankshaft reluctor wheel.
“Our new Trigger Conversion Module uses a plug-and-play design to connect directly to the engine’s existing wiring harness and factory engine sensors, allowing for a seamless and time-saving installation,” said Ken Lingenfelter, owner, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. “The conversion module has its own power and ground, and has been designed using the latest automotive-qualified components with extended temperature range operation.”
Lingenfelter’s Trigger Conversion Module uses a 16-bit microcontroller with an enhanced timer system to achieve precise signal timing for late-model GM engine applications. The product features a fully encapsulated (potted) construction for increased durability and a high temperature glass-filled Nylon low-profile case. Transient voltage and over-voltage protection have been incorporated into the design to accommodate the ever-increasing electrical demands of modern vehicle control systems. It also incorporates a bi-color LED to indicate the operating status.
The Lingenfelter Performance Engineering TRG-002 58X to 24X Trigger Conversion Module (part number L460065397) is available direct from Lingenfelter Performance Engineering and retails for $254.95.
For more than 30 years, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering has created a matchless heritage of bringing astounding new capabilities to the world’s most sought-after sports cars.
