Oil capacity??

**Wagonmaster** · 03-28-2009, 01:34 PM

Please help..I just put an LS1 Firebird/Camaro oil pan and pick-up on my 6.0 LQ4 that resides in my '39 Chevy. Had to put tall springs on it due to the tall truck pan. Now it sits like it should, but after 5 qts it shoes 1 qt. low. Does it hold 6 w/ a filter or do I need to mark my dipstick differently??
Thanks for the assist...Folks here have been very helpful going back to when I first considerd this swap....Thanks again!!

I'm going to say 6. My SS takes 5.5.

Off topic, but what kind of oil?

stock is 5.5 quarts. What filter are you running? The pf61 (ac/delco)is a little taller than the pf46 and holds about another half quart. So 5.5 with stock filter and 6 with the pf61 filter.
