Oil Dipstick for Truck Manifolds?
Anyone know what oil dipstick will work with 04 truck manifolds flipped around? I used the muscle car oil pan with my swap and the dipstick it comes with is not even close to fitting. I assume the truck one will work but before I try finding one I want to make sure it fits or can be bent to fit.

If you have the motor out of the car I would use the stock one. Some have had luck bending the stock dipstick with the motor in the car as well. I spent about 2 hours bending mine and ended up breaking it. So I broke down and bought a Lokar LS dipstick. I had read mixed reviews but from my experience its a very nice unit and installs in just a few minutes. Reads accurate too.

I forgot that lokar makes a diptstick I might just go that route instead of screwing around with bending a stock one. I don't have the stock one that came with my 5.3 to work with.
