The Lokar as mentioned above is a flex style, however, IMO, you are better off using a stock one and bending it as needed to clear the headers. Nothing against the Lokar, it was good quality and well built, but the length was not quite right on my F250, making it a pain to use. When I had the motor out last, I went back with a FoMoCo dipstick and tube, had to tweak the bends in a couple spots to clear the headers, but much easier to check the oil now.
