>>>You need the proper length for any 351C mounted in a *Pantera* (which
discounts all the front-engined cars, and those Panteras which still have
incorrect dipsticks).
I actually performed this experiment a few months ago, shot photos, did a
writeup here and posted links to them in my POCA album. You can see how a
Mustang dipstick, too-long Pantera dipstick, and proper-length Pantera
dipstick compare, here:

The full mark should be just under two inches below the bottom of the crank
throw, with the block level.
