You got any proof that the ECU is calbirated to that specific sensor? Why go to the extra work and expense of buying the tap and worst case scenario possibly dicking up your blcok? Knock sensors are set to detect a certain range of hertz that knock occurs at. I doubt that ford specifically changed the hertz range they were attempting to detect between the years.

I send all of my blocks out with the newer style sensor in place to be spliced into the harness. As long as you use a quality moisture proof splice, you're good to go.
