305 to 350

on my old 305 i had the passenger side dip stick but with my new 350 the dip stick is on the driver side, and i cant put on on because the stock 305 manifolds are where the dip stick needs to go, i am getting headers soon so doesn anyone know how i can fix this or just wait until i get my headers, and what headers do i go with to not have to deal with this problem. thanks, plus dont worry i wont be driving my car until i get my new exhaust.

thanks
Shean

I did the same thing you will have to wait for your headers . Hooker makes a set with the y pipe would be a little easier

I had a similar problem only I couldnt get my dipstick to press in..

anyways, I drove around with the headers on, and I had a 2 inch long bolt in the dipstick hole, with some permatex around the top.
no problems

I went with the headman headers and Ypipe, 200$$$
