so i have this 350 chev, and the dip stick broke off, the old dipstick is still in the engine and i wondering what to do next: make a new dipstick? drill out the old one and put a new one it? is there anyother options?!
oh and the engine is in the car, fyi

 

Driver's side into the head or passenger side into the bottom of the block near the oil pan?

 

I had this happen to me on my 350 Camaro. I ended up going to the Chevy dealer and ordering a new one. Cost me like $49, but I couldn't find any aftermarket one to fit. You should be able to get the old one out pretty easy IF you can get to it. If it's on the passenger side like mine, it will be a PITA! They just press into the block by the way.

 

this dipstick is on the driverside, in the block only
the engine came out of a 78 chev 3/4 ton, just a junkyard find thats going to find some nos in the future......
