I seem to recall reading that knock sensors are far from trivial and that
much signal processing and FFT's are required for effective implementation. If
so, transplanting a knock sensor tuned for one engine onto a drastically
different engine (inline six vs V6, solid lifter vs hydraulic, etc) is unlikely
to
be fully successful.
