Must be possible as people with ERST's swap to OFAB or Cossie management and they require that pick up as well. This way the want to drop the engine into the management and not the other way round

Dont know mate i had the same prob a couple year back & the machine shop didnt think it was possible.
I ended up getting a H 90 escort block that had the hole in it.
Built it up n for got to put the sleeve in behind the box to hold the sensor in the right place

It's a one minute job to drill the hole even DIY. It's very soft iron infact. However the RST block doesn't have the place for the knock sensor. (I'm not sure if the FRST uses one, but decent managements use it at least)

HI,
I drilled mine the block is soft to drill just make sure have a good
template, i used a 1.4 cvh which use the same setup sensor,
but after all the work used another idea for my cosworth management.
