If you are swapping a 302 in a 1954-59 you need a front sump oil pan,how about this to go along with it:http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/4843793468.html Seriously ?? I wish I had bought a hundred of those 30 years ago to fund my retirement
I had the same thought when I saw how much the OEM parts were... I just bough a generic chrome 302 dip-stick on Ebay, which only cost $8.50. It had a thread on billet handle, which I was able to swap out for a cool knob pretty easily.
