Hi all,

this is going to make me sound like a real moron, but I've got a '69 440 that I bout from a guy who really built it for the strip, and I've been over this thing time and time again, but I cant find a spot for a an oil dipstick! where is is supposed to be located? is it possible that he "deleted" is for stip duty?

thanks in advance!

 

i have no idea on this one. I do remember seeing a BB oil pan once (aftermarket of course) have the dipstick tube mounted to it.

 

It should be on the left side of the engine approx 3 - 4 " from the front of the engine. If my memory serves me correctly it is in front of the Motor mount.

That is correct, this is the best pic I have online of this:

If you look at the gasket or the pan, there is a little curve in it , and that is where abouts it should go.

 

your right there is a hole right above the pan rail on the left side of the motor, but its behind the motor mount. youll see it, its cast inot the sid eof the block above the oil pan.
