Description
Ford's FE-series big block V8, produced from 1961 through 1977, uses a dipstick configuration matched by this braided stainless steel dipstick. It covers 5.8L (352 in³), 5.9L (360 in³), 6.4L (390 in³), 6.6L (406 in³), 7.0L (427 in³), and 7.0L (428 in³) FE displacements.
The dipstick enters at the engine block and is designed with header clearance in mind, which matters on builds using long-tube headers where access to the stock dipstick location can be limited.
The dipstick measures 18-5/8 inches and uses a flexible braided stainless steel tube. It is a fixed, non-locking design.
Featuring a chrome-finished aluminum handle, the dipstick adds a polished, show-quality appearance to FE-powered engine bays.

Emissions Notice
This product does not affect vehicle emissions and is not subject to emissions compliance regulations.
Installed this assembly on my Ford 360 fit like a glove fit the headers no complaints whatsoever. If you need a dipstick assembly, this is the one you should get.
I have installed two of these now on my FE390s. The fit and form and function are all very good and this product is a quarter of the price of a comparable Lokar dipstick. Highly recommend.
