RE: OIL FILL - 1/21/2007 1:40:30 AM    CC555   Posts: 6 Joined: 1/20/2007 Status: offline No, those aren't very practical.  As it is, the aftermarket block isn't even drilled for a dipstick.  It's just a little level plug thing self-contained in the Moroso pan. I guess I'd have to have one of the covers drilled, which begs the question as to whether it's then worth using those covers at all.  (in reply to 73shark) Post #: 3

Does anybody know if the Holley Stealth Ram manifold could accomdate such a modification? (in reply to CC555) Post #: 7
