4.9L dipstick & tube?

The dipstick tube on my 4.9 goes through the block (1987 FI block). The dipstick was frozen solid to the nut that screws into the block and the tube collapsed when I tried to separate them. No luck at the local junkyards.

​​​​​​Anyone have a part number? Is there also some sort of seal at the interface to the block?

My books only go up to 1979. Otherwise I might be able to help you. 1987 is too new for me.

I suppose there is little hope for this since NumberDummy isn't coming back

Right, I see none anywhere.

The thread is 5/8-18, but not an inverted flare? I see Lokar ED-5005 with a 5/8-18 thread for a 351W. Maybe that will work?
