looks like you can buy what you need to make it work for under 300 from aa or use the stock one off a newer truck for 70 bucks. if your parting a newer truck you should be able to grab the adapter and everything. changing to a 241 you going to still need the adapter. or you would have to swap pre 96 4l60e which is going to be harder to do. you can adapt a th350 for the vss in ls1 so you should be able to add the vss you need for this. will need a electric speedo though.

There are adapters that create a VSS signal out of a mechanical speedometer drive.

That Dakota Digital piece looks trick. That should work, but I would try to mate a 4L60E to your 208 case.

I used the JTR 2PRS when I did the TBI swap in my old '74; it worked well.
