Mine are in the engine exhaust down pipes, post turbos but pre cats if that helps.

I'll stick out my head and say that most 4-wire sensors are the same functionally.  I'm running a
ford/bosch 4-wire post-cat sensor on a 454/1227730 and it works great.  Others have done the same.
 The problem is connectors, tho.  I've got a Ford connector on my GM harness now :)
