Default 392 dipstick too long

I have a small problem, I have a 392 stroker and the dip stick is in the front of the engine(timing chain cover I believe) (as opposed to the side of the pan near the rear) When my oil is drained the dip stick still reads over full!!!! I can hear it hitting the bottom of the pan and its pushed in the tube. My guess is that the dipstick is too long and probbaly designed for the rear of the pan so it woul go in the sump. Does anyone know the correct length for a front mount? If I cant get any lenghs or a corect stick I will cut this one off and fill th pan with correct amount of oil and drill a hole when it full and drill another hole when its short 1 quart but I would prefer to just buy the right part. Any ideas????
