i run 7.5 in mine which is what my moroso pan calls for. the stock dip stick will work.

for whatever reason if you need to cut the dipstick tube a little, use a small pipe cutter and trim some off the top of the dipstick tube. wont take much.

if you have a stock dipstick tube and its too long, if you dont want to cut it, use an LT4 dipstick tube, fits perfect.

The tube should still go threw the block.

Unless Im misled, I dont think moroso pans have a dipstick tube provision.
