Where can I find a 16 tooth reluctor wheel for a 4.7V8?

Nick, the owner, already tested these out and worked it out with his machinist. Will probably be easier for you.
Little confused though, you mention crank in your OP, but the eBay kit linked it the timing kit. Both need to match to make it work, maybe it is just the wording. In any event, here is the tone ring on the crank.

Holy cow sl2racer, I just noticed you are in Port Richey. My mechanic's shop is (and therefore the transformation will take place) in Tarpon Springs! It is off 19-A about a mile from where it splits off 19 (just past Anclotte). You are most welcome to stop in and survey the process when it starts (may be a while though). Last year we did a Jeep Liberty diesel swap but that was not so complex - put a 2.8 CRD from a 2005 Liberty into a 2002 Liberty gasser. This one will certainly be more fun for sure.
I already have the 4bt and an NV4500, now I just need the other bits and pieces which are mostly sourced except for that pesky reluctor wheel. And after that I plan to replace the bed with an aluminum dump body with fold down sides and loading winch. Like I said should be loads of fun (and money).
I'll probably start a build thread on 4btswaps.com once it gets underway, probably just after the summer. Let me know if you are interested at all. BTW, I bought this truck at auction without keys for $1500, not running. Took it to his shop and within 2 hours it was alive. Have been driving it ever since. If you need a GOOD mechanic and FABULOUS fabricator this is the guy. You should see what we did with my 97 VW Passat TDI - can't keep tires more than a year.
