So, can I slightly bend a 3/8" tube just enough so the upper part does not collide with the block and still fit between the head and manifold? My engine never had a dipstick when I got it anyway, so I'd have to "adjust" whatever dipstick I'd use to measure correctly as you suggest. I'd just have to figure out how to somehow swedge (swage???) the tube or otherwise make it have a slight interference fit or fab a small bracket.
