Hey fellas,
I have decided against the top shot as a back-up, and have thought of another idea. Would it be possible to tap the rear of the block on a motor that will not be using the knock sensors? I will also be shaving the knock sensor tubes to free up room inside the valley.
I know the Cam and crank sensors are in the back portion of the block, but is there anyway to avoid them? I had something similar to this in mind:

With these nozzles/tubes going through the sides of the valley up under the intake ports, between the block and the lifter cups.
