All of the suggestions in the last 3 or 4 posts have already been made on the previous 3 or 4 pages

New cap with new hole and bushing to accept either a Locar or a maybe a rebent aftermarket GM setup.

Compression or welded fitting on the pan to accept a new tube or the GM setup.

Rubber sleeve over the existing fill opening to marry two different size tubes.

Gearstart pan and tube. Probably the most viable except that supply may be limited. You also ruin a complete unit for the next guy taking the pan unless it it truly a junker.

I think the only suggestion not easily accomplished is the TU setup. There is no room for the dipstick on the right side because of the manifold.

Until someone with cars actually measures or looks at the space and tries something, all just guesses. There are different part numbers involved for 50-51 units and 52-54 units so there is also a consideration as to what changed. One fix may not fit all..
