    I have a 2001 F150 4.6 Romeo and its toast now... future rebuild I suppose. But any who in the mean time I picked up another 4.6 romeo engine our of a crown vic and it doesnt have the boss for the knock sensor in the lifter valley. no hole or anything... i thought about moving it did some lookin and people have moved them no issues. another idea i have is to tap a hole in the lifter valley and put a stud in so i can bolt it in its factory appearing place... my question is has anyone done either one? i know i can get a tune to eliminate it completly but im broke as a joke and cant afford one plus no one around here that i know of messes with the cpu for anything!!!
