I have a 97 gsx shell with a 96 7 bolt block and 1g head. The engine I had previously was a 6bolt jdm engine. Will I run into any issues with the crank sensor?
I'm thinking that because there was a 6 bolt in there before that the ecu would be getting a cam and crank signal from the CAS(green top). But now that I have this 7 bolt in the car there will be a problem with one interfering with the other because of the crank sensor on the 7 bolt block. Can I rewire the CAS or the crank sensor? This current setup has never ran, trying to get it going.
 
Either continue to use the 1G CAS for both cam and crank signals and do not use the 2G crank sensor at all or utilize the 2G crank sensor for the crank signal and the 1G CAS for the cam signal only.
 
Are there any other complications you think I might run across by using that block or is the crank sensor the only issue?
 
Like what Brian touched on, I'd recommend using the 1G for the cam signal and the 2G crank for the crank signal. That way, when the crank walks and eats the sensor you can just use the 1G CAS crank signal! LOL just kiddin. But really, I have a 6 bolt in my 2g. I got tired of the whole misfiring business with using the 1G CAS for both signals, so I bought a Kiggly crank sensor made especially for 1G engines in 2G cars. And with adjustable cams, it's handy to have an adjustable cam sensor.
