Maybe make an adapter ring for the existing hole? Just a thought.
It always starts out sounding easier than it ends up.
Under the existing hole is an interesting component. The fuel pickup and the return line are housed in a contraption that looks like a clown shoe (for lack of a better description). It came out of a Ford Taurus and is a baffle of sorts designed to hold fuel under severe braking, acceleration or cornering. It's pretty cool so it gets to stay. The new sender will have to live in another spot.
