1980 Dipstick

I am installing an older style block 383 in my 1980 and dipstick is on the drivers side it looks like it will land right under my brake booster. I would like to hear what others have used for there dipstick. I would like to stay with something that looks close to factory if possible.

Typical late 60's early 70's all had the dipstick on the drivers side towards the back end of the block. If the correct upper tube and corresponding dipstick are used it will be nowhere near any interference with the booster. Below is an example.
