yeah i put the car together to be corner carver and want to keep it that way, which is why i wanted to re-work the hotside to work with my strano 35mm front swaybar. if that couldn't work then i wouldn't have gone forward with the turbo kit. the long term plan is to find a 94-95 auto car to swap the motor/turbo setup into with a th400 and go full race car and this car will likely get a h/c 350 or 355 (have a 95 lt1 short block sitting in my garage for that) and it will be a track/drift car and stay t56. but i want to have some fun with the turbo/t56 setup for a couple years and who knows may stick with it, but it would also be cool to have a 9 sec turbo lt1 street car too if i went auto with it.

so been slowly knocking things out on the car as i can and ran into an issue, when i mocked up the hotside i didn't think about putting the connector on the knock sensor and am now finding that the pipe that goes from the merge to the front under the pass motor mount is hitting that connector and wont let that vband connection work. is there anywhere else i can put the knock sensor on the block?

the other side, there should be a plug there.

I may be mistakenly thinking of the Gen III+ stuff but I seem to remember there being another port up higher also.

The F-Body KS uses the block drain port, passenger side. There is another block drain in the same place on the driver side. The Corvette LT1 has dual knock sensors, one KS on each side in those drain ports. Either side should work as well..

I know how that works :D ..... old age is a bitch.

Maybe you were thinking about the port right above the oil filter. But that’s exposed to oil and used for the oil pressure sensor on 93’s and “early” 94’s.
