Default Are front O2s and rear O2s compatable?

one of my front O2 sensors is dead, and I have 2 rear O2s that I no longer use, can I stick the rear in the front or do I have to buy a new one ?

You have corvette rear O2s in your FBody front O2 holes? My after cat O2s are fine and not being used, but one of my header O2s is fried, I want to know if I can stick one of the rears into the front and have it work fine ?

Yes they are interchangable. The only differance of the 4 sensors is the oem front driver's side has a longer lead then the rest.

Awesome! Checker and Autozone said the P/Ns are different but couldnt tell me why, I have O2 extenders on already so shouldnt be a problem!

Actually they are the Front O2s off of a Corvette. They work just fine. The only difference in the Corvette O2 and my original O2's is that the Corvettes have longer O2 wires, which turned out great for me, cause I didn't have to use my O2 extensions anymore.
