yeah like radz says lokar has a flexible tube dipstick, stainless steel, looks nice and some sponsors sell it for 50 bucks? it's a good replacement, especially instead of trying to bend the stock tube around headers, trust me it's a pain in the ***

Your welcome.
Based on your statement..... thats included... NO Alterations.
The anchor on the tube has a different size bold that holds it to the block. You CAN Alter it for the larger LS1 bolt (meaning LT1 is smaller) But ther Anchor is not in the same location.
Now I have owned both and quiet exp in both and I am not even sure its the same size diameter tube. When I sold off my 383 LT1 some of the extras went with it and I cannot compare them, but I am willing wager they are different sizes and lengths.
Also the tube bend is different, meaning it cannot be used.
Hence, buy a LS1 based tube replacement, OR if you having some clearance issues look into Lokar.
