5.5 gens with HS headers step in
thats how my front o2 fits. i have heard that the manifold has room to move, the bolt wholes are WIDE. i already need a new o2 front sensor (100+) but i wanna see pics, or shoukd i just move it to the collector...
thanks..

I am planning on putting the 02 in the collector. I will get a bung or something to plug the hole upstream, extend for the new, lower position. Hopefully it will keep the car running more ... normal. I want the 02 getting information off of all 3 cylinders on the bank, not just one.
I would run the current o2s for a few hundred miles, then put in new ones. I think the HS are coated, and this coating can sometimes screw with 02s when it is in the burn-in phase.

I just put mine on Saturday. By Tuesday CEL came on... I saw your thread and i looked... Mine looks just like that!!
I used an O2-sim for my other 2 sensors in my front manifold... i was thinking about just buying another sim for this one and plugging the hole... Will that work. I got a quote of $100 to move it and weld in the new bung.
Its only $30 for an O2-sim... Will it work??

No it will not, you can't sim one of the primary o2 sensors since they help determine your fuel maps.
