dipstick tube install in a dipstickless oil pan

[Boss Hugg]

I like long descriptive titles because it takes about three posts on the thread to be off topic...

I'm putting an oil pan without a dipstick on an engine that had the dipstick in the oil pan. I'm sure someone here had done this, so what kit should I use that doesn't cost two arms, a leg and four dipsticks?

I would look to installing one in the timing cover, should be a boss on the cover where the dipstick would go. ??

I don't think you can use a timing cover dip stick with a rear sump pan. If you use a front sump pan the front differential will cause a leak in the pan.

On your 5.0 do you have provisions for a drivers side dip stick?

This is not in a bronco. Nor is it a 5.0. It's the 289 from my bronco with a 93 mustang pan.
