Anyone Ever Bent Their Trans Dipstick Tub

[72 Cheyenne K20]

Hey Guys,

I Have an 80 Jimmy with a 350/350 & replacing the factory under spark plug exhaust manifolds to the earlier rams horn over the spark plug exhaust manifolds. I will be routing the spark plug wires to the back of the block & under the manifolds.

My only issue is getting around / over the transmission dipstick tube. Not sure if they made a different tube on earlier models to go with that setup or bending it is my only option.

Please way in if you have done something like this or have any suggestions.

Thanks Scott
