Default Anyone happen to swap a jdm dohc F20A into a 95 prelude to replace the H23?

hello new to the forms. I have a 95 Honda Prelude that used to belong to a friend of mine about a year ago or so the h23 non VTEC motor went out they found a cheap JDM solution which was an f20a not the way I would go for a swap on this car normally, but it wasnt my car at the time now, that the car was handed down. I want to fix the problems. That were left over from the swap like that CEL light that will not go off because the knock sensor has no place to be threaded into the block. So my question is anybody know a place I can tap into for the knock sensor that wouldn't damage the engine. Any advice would be grateful thank you.
