Sure, it will fit in the trunk, the back seat or the glove box. What exactly
are you trying to do?

Is your huge oil sender in the way of other accessories? A lot of
Fords of this vintage had an extension to get the sender away from the
block.

What's the problem? It may be a little bit of a pain to get to, being on
the side of the block, but so what?

   Not really.  That one hole there on the left front
is the only easily accessible point.
   From the factory there's an extension piece that
moves the sender out and angles it about 45* or so.
It's hex shaped, and alum.  Most any Mustang parts
company will have them for about $10 or so.
   However, because it's alum, I don't like to use it.
 I've managed to break them.  I use a short piece of
pipe and a brass fitting to place it where I want it.
   I'll send you a picture.
   Once I used a hydraulic rubber hose with the proper
fittings on each end.  Then I used an Adel clamp and
placed the sensor off one of the pan bolts.  That
turned out to be more trouble than it was worth.
    If you're going to use a remote oil filter, or an
oil cooler, you can buy a fitting to place the sender
in line.
