third gen exhaust problem.

[seannz28]

Okay, I through an engine in my camaro, a 350 with a driverside dipstick. The original 3rd gen 305 had a passenger side dipstick. I got headers for it that were made to fit the 305...right side dipstick. so now the headers interfere with the left hand side dipstick tube.
here is the other problem, the headers don't exactly bolt right up to the stock exhaust, so I was forced to put the original manifolds back on, just to drive it to the shop to have full exahust fabricated using the headers I bought, but the same problem...interference between exhaust manifold and dipstick....
any suggestions?

I think you can buy flexible dipstick tubes and dipsticks. I don't know where, but I have heard of people doing this because of similar problems like yours. Sorry I'm not of much help .

The flex tubes work I had an older 350 in my 89 for a week and I bought mine at the local parts store.
