i had bought a new 7 qt oilpan and pickup for the hemi so was bored and put it on the motor(its on a stand) and i got to looking and relized i dont have a oil dipstick so was looking at it more and was wondering how the heck it even mounts this is not a resto build but it will be droped down into a challenger
does a hemi have its own dip stick ? what am i missing?

the dipstick bends forward and sneaks under the exhaust flange and towards the front of the cylinder head

Here is a picture of mine during mock-up. I ended up using a standard B/RB tube which I heated and bent in several places to snake up around the headers. I welded a tab to the tube and it bolts to the top header flange bolt. I had to get the bends "just right" so the stick would slide in easily.

Works great.
