Thats designed for the dipstick in the block, not the pan. the pan should fit, but the dipstick wont.

I saw someone on here graft a dipstick onto their oil pan. That's always a possibility.

If the one listed does not have the dipstick in the side, search rockauto. Not sure I can link to a search there. Spectra and Dorman make the pan you want, They are $70-$80.

The pans fit any block, the only difference is where you want or need the dipstick.

Nope, link doesn't work.

Just a thought I'm throwing out here.... could he use the old school timing chain cover with dipstick provisions, and the pan with no provision?

Shane, the only issue there is the rear sump location. The dipstick would be sitting in the smaller front section of the pan.

That makes sense.

I ordered the ford racing 302 dual sump conversion pan, same one teddyzee linked. Came with pickup dipstick everything and it fit.my 79 block no problem. Dipstick went through the hole on passenger side of timing cover and into the pan.

Sure enough, went and took a look. You can see the opening for the stick. Price is just a little bit high.
