From what I've been told, blocks with the dip stick on the driver side came in a car and blocks with them on the passenger side came in a truck. I don't know how true this is but I know hard it is to get to with the dip stick coming out right by the master cylinder. I have a 350 block with a little plate screwed to the side of it down by the oil pan that allows it to have the dip stick on the passenger side, something like that might make it easier to get to.
