So I started putting in my LPP Long tubes and ran into a problem removing the stock manifolds. The dipstick and its little bracket were keeping me from getting the manifold off and the header on. I could not get the dipstick out of the block, it refused to twist or wiggle out like the one on my '87 V20 did when I put long tubes on that truck. I ended up cutting off the dipstick tube with a big pair of wire cutters and crimping the end over to get the exhaust back on but now I have no dipstick Does anyone know how to get it out? Please help

These new LS based motors sound absolutely AWESOME through open headers BTW!
