Default Cant find a dipstick that works

I am in search of a dipstick for the engine oil that will work for me. I have a turbo LQ4 thats in an RX7. The Lokar dipstick for a LS motor would work perfectly, but its not long enough. I would like to use the stock port in the side of the block and not tap the pan like most universal dipsticks require. I woudl also like to have it mount on the firewall. I have one for my trans, and woudl liek to have this one moutned next to it.

Does anyone have a suggestion or know of a solution to this issue. Thanks guys.

Couple pics to see what i am working with:

A lot of Lokar stuff is universal, might try giving them a call and see if they can make you one that is longer.

I'm pretty sure this 'stick & tube is from a truck even though it's on my 'Vette engine:
