Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

that has been converted. the normal side mounted knock sensors dont look like that. there should be a size molded into the front wall
genIII are on the back

what do u mean?"u think someone tapped block to put knock sensor in there?"
from what research ive seen ls2 and 3 have knock sensor at this location
this is a 4th gen t/a
but on the front were is a good idea to look?

those style go in the valley plate. a normal ls2 look like this
there should be a partial vin right near there just above the pan rail. may be able to get engine size from that. since it appears to be a later block the engine displacement should be on the right front face just below where the a/c compressor bracket bolts
The knock sensor screwed into you block is a standard gen III ls motor knock sensor that would normally be in the valley. My guess is a knock sensor went bad on your car while the last guy owned it and he was too lazy to pull the intake and replace the ones in the valley so he just screwed a replacement into the block.

can i use these on my ls2 block or do i drill and retap and use the valley style i already have?? or can my harness be modified to use these??
just very confusing because im pretty sure its a new motor i dont see why he would tap into block to add a older sensor? car runs very good but has some minor issues it works it self out...
it fails to start and tried to back fire "sometimes"
after i start it up it may run in sort of a limp mode after i drive it a mile or 2 its has all its power... "im sure i need to tune the car"

sorry this is alittle off topic but i need help doing this also figure ill add to this motor not even knowing what it entirely is.. lol ls something? =D LSX!
hoping u guys could also give me some advice on if this comes with everything i will need and if it good i have a aftermarket fuel pump "i hope" i was told he replaced it due to he thought thats why it failed to start but he said it was a performance one couldn't remember what it was though.. guess air/fuel gauge will help a lot though... but hoping my car can support this kit
if it matters any i have a full exhaust "kooks" 3inch y pipe 243 casting heads..
The number is down further. What's the intake look like or part number? thats not a stock valley cover. is that an egr tube in the pic? if so its probably an ls2 cause non of the cathedral port intakes have an egr. head casting number?
