Im using the one speed engineering sells. It fits but it sits under the cowl. You can get the one they sell from any gm dealership. Just get it from a 01+ 80e truck. That is what i did. You will also have to get the dipstick.

Default I use..
I use a stock style dipstick thet I have shortened to the length that i wanted.
Be sure too take off the same length from both the pipe and the stick or your reedings will not be right.

does the stock 4l60 stick read full / add in the correct spot? and the 4l60 lines work directly as far as the way they attach right?

Cant answer your question but I just used the stock 4l80e like mentioned above. I like it because it tucks under the cowl and you cant really see it.
