Dip stick depth in sump

Hi all, on my 3sgte i'm making up a custom sump (using old sump just changing shape and enlarging etc).
Anyways.. the dip stick will now go into the sump itself, and not through the block where it used to. This is because the turbo is in the way, also that part of the sump has been cut away and no longer exists..
The problem i'm having is determining how low into the sump the dip stick should go. I've got such a mix matched bunch of parts, 2S sump, 3S block and dip stick, 2S pickup etc, the fact 3sgte's originally sit on a 30 degree or something angle.. that it makes it really hard to work out how it used to be from factory.
From my measurements, it seems the dip stick sits very low in the sump and wouldn't put a whole lot of oil over the level of the pickup.. Which is a concern and makes me think with all my bits n parts this is wrong.
Does anyone know where the full mark on the dip stick should be in relation to the pickup? - doesn't have to be 3sgte specific I suppose, just in general engine design.
Thanks
Joel
