dipstick tube
have any of you ever used a dipstick and dipstick tube from another ford motor??? the reason i ask is when i put headers on my truck, i brock my tube above the block and so i figured I would just replace it with something fancey from lokar or the such, if i can find a ford motor that uses the same size dipstick tube. anyone give me any advice.
also, are those dipstick tubes just press fit into the block???? can i just take a pair of pliers or visegrips and just pull it out?????

The dipstick housing presses into the block, so you should be able to pull it out. After many years it may be difficult. I havent heard of anyone making a direct fit new DS. Most use a smaller diameter housing and stick.
