Default Missing Dipstick on LS2

I haven't been able to tear into the motor yet, but it is my understanding that the GTO LS2 motor had the dipstick installed in the oil pan. There is an LH8 pan currently installed. If I remove the plug in the block that is used for a dipstick, what dipstick would I need to use for it to register properly?

It has shorty headers installed if this makes a difference.

I have a dip stick and tbe out of an LQ4 you can have. You may need to shorten the dipstick but that shouldnt be a problem. You can put in the required amount of oil and test fit it then adjust accordingly.
