Default Knock sensors

I HAVE TO TAKE THE KNOCK SENSORS OFF MY ls1 AND PUT THEM ON MY ls2 , NOW MY QUESTION IS I HAVE THE DRIVESIDE KNOCK SENSOR ON AN EXTRA HOLE FROM A MOTOR MOUNT TO ENGINE , BUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE I PUT THE KNOCK SENSOR RIGHT BELOW THE 2ND CYLENDER ON BLOCK RIGHT ABOVE THE OIL PAN , NOW MY QUESTION IS WILL THAT HURT THE KNOCK SENSOR BEING MOUNTED RIGHT THERE , OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE MOUNTED WHERE THE OLD KNOCK SENSORS FROM THE ls2 CAME OFF ?

YOU SHOULD TURN YOUR CAPS OFF, IT'S ALOT EASIER TO READ THAT WAY....

The knock sensors should be mounted on the side of the block, right where you have them.

Default knock sensors

So if the Driver side knock sensor is mounted in a open hole right above the LS2 knock sensor that is ok ? but on the passenger side i have the knock sensor on the side of the engine about 6 inches in front of the LS2 knock sensor right behind the AC compressor , right below the 2nd cylender , that should be fine then , if there not mounted directly the same way on each side of the block ?

Wait ... you're putting 4 knock sensors in?

All you need to do, is put the 2 LS1 knock sensors in (one on each side of the block, in the only hole they fit in, near the motor mounts) ... then extend the original LS1 knock sensor wires (you can do it yourself, or there are a few sponsors that sell extensions). That's it you're done.

It is actually best to keep them closer to the combustion chamber. And it is best to be on the most likley cylinders to knock, so #7 & 8. So, top holes on the back of the engine.
