Default Swapping cam sensor locations.

Hey guys, i picked up a terminator x max kit thats set up for a 1x (rear mounted) cam sensor. is it possible for me to get a gen 4 engine and move the cam sensor to the back of the block? the cam is for a gen3/4 block. so its got the ring gear (or whatever)

There is no provision on a Gen IV block for a cam sensor. You get a 1x cam sprocket and front sensor.
You need to read up a lot more on Gen III/IV differences

The way its done is like mentioned. using a Gen4 front cover, a 1x cam sprocket and there's is a lot of places that sell an extension harness to the front of the engine.
NOTE*** You do have to have the jumper harness that bolts to the front cover that plugs into the sensor itself. It's really simple to do.

You can also de pin the terminator and re pin it correctly to work with 4x. And then just change the setting in the initial set up.
