Exclamation Running LS1 O2 sensors on LT1, will it work if you splice on the LT1 connectors?

Here's the deal. My car currently has some stupid Bosch O2 sensor on it. I don't trust their readings (which are not overly close to eachother), and a lot of people say the Bosch O2's are junk.

BUT......I'm broke. I don't have the money to dump into new O2 sensors; just can't be doing that. BUT, I do know some low mileage LS1 guys who have been doing long tubes and catless Y-pipes while yanking their rear O2's (and of course reprogramming).

But the LS1's use a different connector. Will they work if I hack off the LS1 connector and solder on the LT1 connector? I mean, the LS1's still use a narrow band heated O2, so I don't see there being much of a difference. Seems like a cheap way to get a set of O2 sensors to me.

The O2 wires are stainless steel so they're a PITA to solder (if its even possible).

To make it work you would probably need to crimp the connections which I'm not too fond of...
