Ended up finding a spot that will work for the dipstick. Driver's side on the aft end of the engine. Clears everything, the tube will line up with one if the main caps, I think it should be good to go on the relocation. I also find out after the fact that there was originally a hole for a dipstick tube on the M301 pan right where I'm locating it on the new pan. So I think this is where it should be.
Time to cut and relocate
Not pretty but she'll get a TIG welded patch. I must say, Kevko must look more towards the function of their welds, not the looks. They are none too pretty! Lol
