Default LS7 dipstick drill guide

I need to drill the hole for a dipstick on my 427. I am looking for an engine dipstick drill guide. Does anyone have one that they are done with? Willing to sell?

Why are you adding a dipstick to the drysump 427? You don't check the oil level in the engine unless you have converted back to wet sump.

Hello from 10 miles west of ya in Rockford. I worked in Belvidere for a number of years.

FYI. You might get more response if you post this in the Wanted to Buy / Parts for Sale area.

Good Luck

This engine is not a dry sump. It is a wet sump that is going into a
99 FRC. Will be using a baffled bat wing pan with an accusump.
