driver side dipstick with stock manifold

Just recently dropped in a driver side dipstick 350.
I've got the stick manifold on so its in way were the dip stick should be.
Has anyone rigged something up?
Or should I just call up lokar and see what they have?
It's like such a tight fit so I'm.not sure what can go.in.there

I haven't done it myself, but members have reported being able to carefully bend the dipstick tube so that the manifold can be installed.

Others have used a Lokar or other flexible tube dipstick.

Headers solves the problem.
