Oil dipstick tube...

I have a 400 engine on the stand and it will be going in the car hopefully in the next few days. I want to install the new oil dipstick tube but I'm not sure if it will interfere with the header when I install it,do I install the header first?

Is there some trick or tip or am I gonna have to snake the dipstick tube through the header and try to install it from under the car?

Thanks...

I just finished my engine build and I installed the headers first after the motor was in the car and the dipstick last. Makes life easier.

It is nearly impossible bolt the headers to the motor in the car with the dipstick tube in place.
