Drive it into the hole in the block. You can take a slightly larger piece of tubing and cut it at an angle to serve as a punch. Lube the dipstick tube and the hole in the block. Make sure your dipstick tube is correct for the engine.. for example, the tube used on 1-piece rear seal blocks is smaller than the older 2-piece seal blocks, so some aftermarket dipsticks end up being to big to go down the hole. Same goes for cheap chrome plated dipstick tubes. Hope that helps you out.
yes it will fit, 262-400ci chevy smallblock manifolds are interchangeable.
Dealer or Salvage Yard.
right front, left rear of intake manifold. most engines are equipped with correct stamped steel brackets for this purpose.
Either the dealer or a wrecking yard. If a chrome dipstick is acceptable, you can often get them in cataloges and performance shops.
You can, but it will kill the performance of your engine.
Be very careful NOT to put trans fluid in an engine ! - It goes down the tube that holds trans dipstick, into the transmission.
your relay is broken, a wire is crossed, or the selonoid on the startr is bad.
should use 5 quarts, put in 4 1/2 and check the dipstick. If it is still a little low put the rest of the fith quart in. Fill the oil filter before you install it on the engine. NEVER install a dry filter. Then pour the rest of the 5 quarts into the engine.
It could be done with high compression, big valves, and a roller cam, or a supercharger, or nitrous oxide.
