ATTENTION!!! I just built my motor at the end of 2013 and had this same problem. I just slightly bent the pickup tube tab so it would go over the ARP 4 bolt stud. After assembly and adding oil (motor installed) i realized that my dipstick isnt reading correctly. Its almost like the stick isnt going into the sump of my moroso 7qt pan. Just make sure you keep correct geometry of where the stick is going to be if you tweak the lower tubes mounting tab. Now i have to pull the motor out to fix it and a couple other things.
