Hi Joe A,
If you use a dipstick in the Aviaid pan, you have to plug the hole in the block where a typical FE would normally have a dipstick (left side). There are two tubes on the front right side of your Aviaid pan, approx 2" long. The dipstick Gessford sells goes in the frontmost one, and then you'll have to cap off the one behind it. Gessford sells the cap, also. And yes, you'll have to drill a hole in your windage tray to make way for the dipstick.
All of this was already done on my engine before I received it, so I hope I'm right on all of the details. I do know that some prefer to use the original location and dipstick because the Aviaid setup up as I've described it puts it right behind the alternator. You also will have to make a little support bracket to secure it, but that's no big deal. Hope this helps.
Joe
