    Anyone recognize this LS 5.3?

    I found this picture that says this is out of a 2004 SSR 5.3, this trans dipstick tube would work for my swap. So I ordered a gm tube and it is not like the picture. The one pictured comes up the side of the cylinder not the back like all the others I've seen. I've googled the hell out of it buck can't find any other source for this tube.

    I wonder if someone rebent the stock trans dipstick tube on the one in that pic? The accessories definitely look like truck accessories and the intake looks like it's been partially shaved. I did some google searching and I wonder if it is from a Monte Carlo SS with a LS in it?

    Or from a malibu SS?

    That one looks close at first glance but the bend is in a different spot. The only other one I found that comes out next to the cylinder head was a custom one on ebay for 80 bucks, but the quality looks sketchy to me.https://www.ebay.com/itm/4L65E-700R4...4vrB:rk:9:pf:0
