A Side Oiler Like We've Never Seen
Let's see; custom block, heads, oil pan, etc. Think a factory dipstick will work on this baby? Dan didn't think so either. Van Auken whipped out a custom one in no time by using a 3/8 od chrome-moly tube for the dipstick tube and a Chevy LT1 dipstick cut down to represent the proper oil depth. He attached it to the oil pan using a Swedge Lock fitting. For the top of the tube, Van Auken machined up an end adapter so the handle portion of the dipstick, and especially the O-ring would seat in the tube.
