If installing into the plugged hole, you will need an angled adapter to avoid a/c clearance issues... I'll have pics of my install within 48 hours... 87 Mustang GT 5.0L TURBO

I tapped into there for my pressure gauge. If you are putting your Accusump in there, it's a great spot, but make sure you add a T there and connect a pressure gauge to it also so that you get the most accurate oil pressure reading possible. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!

My mistake, actually you either want the oild sandwich plate or tap directly into the otlet port from the oil filter. I was corrected by someone who knows the block better than I do.

Honestly, I can't say for sure that it won't work, but based on BAT's catalog they say that they supply fittings for oil galley install for any oil-cooler equipped cars, which makes me believe the sandwich adapter is not for the SVT. My thought on why would be clearance issues after moving the filter that much further away from the block. Link to Accumulator Picture Post 87 Mustang GT 5.0L TURBO
