hello everyone I have a problem, I have a 1967 mustang front sump oil pan on a 93 5.0 block does anyone know if they make a dipstick that will fit in the back of the block and work for a front sump oil pan.

I don't think you understand my block has a hole in the side of the block I changed the oil pan and sump to a front sump just want to find a dipstick to slide back into block that will read correctly do not want to remove and replace timing cover the engine just got rebuilt and painted and is already installed in car. I know I'm not the only one that has run into this problem.

I understand perfectly. Your choices are either modify the timing cover to accept the dipstick in the front or modify the suspension to accept a rear sump pan. Maybe others have a different solution.

exactly, a dipstick will only read correctly if it in the sump.
