Default Wideband O2 Sensor to the ECM?

Hi guys, I have a modified 1985 Corvette with the 870 ECM. I was just thinking, and started wondering if it is possible to wire a Wideband O2 sensor to the ECM using the wires for the Narrowband O2 sensor?

Thanks!

I have a gen 7 and running a wide band. I would think you have to change the ECM..

Some of the wide bands (not the sensor itself but the module) have an output that can be directly connected to the stock ECM.
For instance I have a Zeitronix that has this feature and it works well. This made it nice that I only had to have the one O2 sensor this way.
