SBC is SBC - any auto parts store will sell an aftermarket tube and dipstick for a chevy.

Re: Lower Dipstick Tube

I need the short tube from the block into the oil pan to keep the dip stick straight to get accurate readings NAPA looked at me like i had 6 heads when I inquired. My next try will be a GM Dealer

Re: Lower Dipstick Tube

Buy a junkyard oil pan and/or lower tube, and just take what you need from it? Probably the easiest and cheapest solution.
