I'm swapping a 350 into my truck and the dipstick on the new engine is right where the D/S exhaust manifold sits. I see a hole on the other side that I can pop a little plug out to install my old dipstick.

The questions are:
Can I get the plug out without removing the oil pan?
Is it reusable?
If not, where can I get a new plug to fill the D/S hole?

Thanks in advance for any help.
