I went with a larger volume oil pump and decided to get a larger 7qt oil pan to feed the pump, now it came with its universal pan mounted dipstick plus I still have the stock provision in the block for the stock dipstick, does anyone sell a block off of some sort to plug the stock dipstick hole in the block? Any ideas would be great, thanks in advance.

Bolt with silicone

I have a canton 7qt pan, and the directions told me to use a bolt, put alot of silicone around the threads, and put it in the old dipstick tube hole. I did, and it worked great. Not a single drip of oil has come out.

yeah I was thinking about the small freeze plug route, and stangbear my block actually looks like it doesn't even have a threaded hole basically has a hole and on top is a half creseant curve. hmm

Anyway thanks for the responses.
