Default Moving Knock sensors on a LS2 block

Hey guys need a little help here. Im currently doing a LS2 swap in a 1995 Chevy truck and ran into a knock sensor problem on the drivers side. I relocated the 02 valley knock sensors to the sides of the block where the stock LS2 ones are. The problem is the driver side sensor is about an inch from the header. Is it ok to move the sensors to one of the rear motor mount holes on the block. I didn't know if it would affect anything, and I would move both sides accordingly. Thanks again Jon

I did that on mine because of the same problem with the header, it worked out just fine. Go for it!

If someone needs harness extensions I have them in stock for a conversion from an LS1 to LS2
