This is a 4.3 vortec with aluminum pan.

The one on my aluminum pan 4.3 went into bottom of oil pan on port side. The bends on that dont look like they will fit upon that block location.
do you have a merc serial number on the engine ?

If the dipstick is in the block, it's a press fit.

I have a pair of vice grips I modified to clamp on the tube to pound in with a hammer
