Dip stick question

[bighammer]

When replacing the pan on a 360 truck engine to a center sump car pan, will I need to replace the dip stick so it accommodates a center sump?

Thanks

You could cut down and use/ re mark the old. If it's a stock pass pan, it's 4 qt plus filter, or nominal 5

The short answer is yes, you must replace it

With your engine on the engine stand, turn it upside down.(pan off) Insert the truck dipstick all the way in the tube. Measure the depth of the new pan. Measure up from the block and mark the dipstick to match the depth of the new pan. I cut mine off about 3/16 short. Mark at the quart low and full line with car on level ground.
Good luck
