Anyone use GTO oil pan with fbody dipstick? I went to swap pans this weekend and noticed that the gto windage tray has a hole cut away for the fbody dipstick to go through. Is there any reason I can't just clip the last half inch off the fbody stick and use it?
I measured to the bottom of the pan at the spot the dipstick would go in and tried to take a picture tangent to the motor. You can see its just a tad bit too long.
With the pan bolted up the dipstick slides in just fine. Is there any reason that people prefer to use the GTO dipstick? Seems like it would be easier to block the hole in the pan over the block.
Also does anyone know the part number for the nuts that hold the windage tray on? The fbody pan uses 8 and the gto needs 10.
