So I'm putting 95 5.0 331 stroker in my 66 coupe, and Im wondering what to do about the dipstick. I had to change to a front sump Milodon pan with a baffle in it and I was wondering if the stock dipstick will work, or am I going to have to do something else. Im using the 95 front accessories.

You gotta drill or change the timing cover to a older 302 one

^^What these two above wrote.^^
I used a 87-93 style timing cover, just had to plug the block (1/8" npt) and drill the timing cover to mount/insert the dipstick tube. if your using a serpentine setup with latemodel brackets you will need to drill out that bracket so the tube can pass through to the timing cover.
i know that your 94/95 cover is physically different then the 93 and down, not sure if it can be used. [ December 12, 2012, 12:06 PM: Message edited by: 68stanger ]
