305 tpi to 383 TPI

In a couple of weeks I'll finally have my motor and will be ready for the install. I think I have everything lined up but I still have a few things I'm not sure about.

I'm going with alum. AFR's. Some of the wiring harness has ground straps to the heads. I pretty sure I need to relocate them to a conductive point like the block, right? Does this effect any of the other sensore or module's? What else should I consider when going to alum head's?

I will be getting a 350 Knock sensor but do I have to get a 350 ESC module as well? Will my existing ESC work with a 350 knock sensor?
This knock sensor thing is hard to find info on.

Thanks

So far it's a hit and miss with the ESC thing. It may or may not work. Best $ is $74.19 for that rest easy feeling.

To answer my own question with a question.

Why does my stock harness have a ground strap to the head and block? If you have stock iron heads why the need for both ground straps.

The ground strap on the head is actually grounding the body & computer. The main battery ground cable goes to the engine for the starter. All of the others are just there to make sure the grounding is hard, not a "sneak" ground (through rubber engine mounts, for instance...).
