Knock Sensor

Just a quick question. I am dropping the SC motor into a 97 stang and the knock sensor interferes with with motor mounts, so I removed the actual sensor but left the block plug in the block. My question is does the knock sensor go all the way through???

I don't think it does but I want to make sure. I put a drill bit in the plug and it bottoms out real quick, so this tells me the sensor just threaded into the plug, not all the way through. PLus no coolant came out when the sensor was removed so again tells me it doesn't go all the way through. I just want to confirm so I don't have to pull the motor to fix it later, it sits behind the motor mount. On my 94 the motor mounts clear the knock sensor no problem, the 96+ stangs have offset motor mounts and are not interchangable unless you change the entire k-member as well.
