351W dipstick question

I have an early 90's 351W engine that is missing the dipstick and tube. The hole for it is on the left side of the block. Does anyone know the correct set up for this dipstick. I can only seem to find ones that go in the timing cover or oil pan. I would like to be able to use the one that goes into the block. Any help would be appreciated

Here's one:

OEM 351W V8 Dipstick Tube-Broncograveyard.com

The side bracket has to be bolted to a double-ended stud on the exhaust manifold.

You may have to cut that one. I had an issue with my build I have a 90 351w F250 and that dipstick is not the right one and I got the last one in the US lol crazy but true. But I think again that the dip stick in that is linked can be modified to fit the 90 block.

This is what fits the 90 351W never really figured out what caused this other than maybe accessories.

351W: Econoline uses a different dipstick and tube than F150/350/Bronco.
