Generation IV External Engine - ls1 to LS2 knock sensor conversions?

We put a LS2 in a f body a while back, and was told at the time there was no way to make the knock sensors work with the new motor(i understand the different locations and physical changes). However, this was back in late 2006, and the car is just now being ready to go. My question is, has anyone made a harness to adapt knock sensors to these motors? Or wouls making my own harness be the ticket?

Just trying to save some time,...and more importantly, a motor.

Thanks

Katech and other make a harness to install the ls1 sensors on the side of the ls2(motor mount hole or drill and tap the original ls2 location)

LS2 knock sensors are a 2 wire set-up and have an M8 thread.
LS1 knock sensors are a single wire and have an M10 thread.

I don't think you can get LS2 knock sensors working on an LS1 computer.
Just drill out the LS2 knock sensor bosses and tap them M10....screw in LS1 sensors.
