Question Dipstick placement in regards to the timing cover???

Any idea how to fix the placement of my intake heater hoses blocking off my timing chain oil dipstick. Is this a common problem? Any good fixes that don't cost a fortune? This is on my 460 auto 2wd I do have a edelbrock intake and bought an aftermarket timing chain cover and the tube that the stick goes into is longer than the original, but there was very little room before hand anyway. Thx in advance jen

Either change the tube or get a pan with with dipstick. Why did you change the timing cover?

Here's what mine looked like before I worked on it. Today it's the same but cleaner & painted.
