307 swap in progress, but need help

In the old 305 that was in my firebird, the dipstick was on the passenger's side, on the 307, it's on the driver's side. The driver's side manifold will not clear the dipstick. What should I do, I realize that headers are an option, but what else is there that I could do to make the stock manifolds work? How about one of those flexible dipsticks? Please help, thanks.

bend it, or get a chrome one from auto zone and bend it, just takes a little bend and twisting to get it to work.
