My opinion -
Don't try to fool/trick the computer. It will only lead to driveability/longevity issues.
Ford calibrated the input from that sensor for its location. Moving the sensor will throw off its calibration, and all of the decisions that the computer makes based on that input; fuel and timing.
I have hear of some people locating the act in the air box because their intake did not have the threaded provision, but this is far from ideal.
