    Knock sensor relocate on 2001 LS 6.0

    I've installed a 2001 6.0 to replace my customer's blown up 5.3 in an 07 Avalanche. The donor truck didn't have AFM so the brand new knock sensors and harness are in the valley. The original, (2 wire) sensors are located by the motor mounts. I have no bosses on the 6.0 in which to drill and install the 5.3 knock sensors. I'm sort of stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

    Don't you think you could use the original locations in the 6.0 and just lengthen the harness to make em reach to the side of the block. Seems like the only option. Are the plug ends the same from 6.0 sensors to 5.3 harness?

    How are you getting around the crank trigger differences too..
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    Yes, unless you have put the late model cam and crank in, your about to have a really bad day
