Would a regular dipstick that mounts in the front cover (SBF) sit down in the pan the same distance, no matter what pan is used? So if you use that dipstick in a 5-quart stock fox-body pan and it reads 5 quarts....then if you change pans to say a Canton T-sump pan...it would still read 5 quarts, right? Because it will extend the same distance into the front cover....no matter what pan it is....

So if that dipstick read full (5 qts) on a Canton pan, it would be common sense to say it's not showing all that's in the pan, right? The pan sump is out of reach of the dipstick, correct?
