I'm not real sure about this one. I know the fronts and backs are a different part #. I also know that alot of people, including myself, run the Bosch 13111 (Corvette rear sensor) after a header install because they eliminate the need for O2 extensions and also are rumored to be more reliable. So, I'm not much help, but at least I bumped you back to the top.

Well I was trying to get the vette 02 sensor and called up a dealership to get a power steering pump and pulley and went ahead and asked them about the 02 sensors and they told me $200 or so, each. thats out of my price range, but I'll look up the bosch, thanks.

1311's give a lot of problems to some people. Too answer your question the rear o2 will work fine.......

What's your recommendation then? I've heard the Bosch for the f-body sucks. Is Delco the only way to go? Thanks

To the Op, the Bosch 13111s were about $68

I have the bosch 13111 from the corvette on my car without problem. The only reason the stock o2's have different part numbers is because they cables are different lengths. They are all the same actual sensor and they work fine. Only reason i bought the boschs is because i burned up my others. dont ask me how

What type of problems am i looking at if I buy these? I already looked them up at autozone.com and they are only about $70, thats a price alot lower than the dealership gave me. So if run a rear 02 as a front one should be fine, i figured the same thing but I wasnt sure because they look identical to each other.

IIRC the OEM is Denso. Not positive though. Give SDPC a call and I bet they will be cheaper than your dealer.

On the 1311's I have just seen them fail. They work fine for some folks though.
