So if I put a CRP on the crank and drop a big cap HEI in this engine it'll run? That would be crazy.

All I really need is a way to run the fueling.
I can't say for sure on a V6 OS which I think you'll be using but for sure on 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, and 6.0 will run without a CMP signal. You can get an extended crank while the PCM figures out compression TDC. One thing is do not disable the DTCs for the CMP sensor. The PCM has to see the CMP code set for it to run without the signal. I've just never tested it on a vehicle with the CMP in the distributor. The V8s have the cam reluctor either directly on the back of the cam or up front on the cam gear.
