Good day, I’ve sourced and in the process of having a 1956 261 engine rebuilt to replace the 216 that went boom.
The 261 had a broken dipstick with a piece of wire to stop it from dropping down the tube!
My question is the 216 dipstick length the same as the 261? I know that there is a big difference in the dept of the oil pan between the two.
