HI Don
I do not have the exact answer, but since it is a ford crate engine the dipstick should be calibrated for the pan. Just buy extra oil and fill slowly. Start it it up, allow engine to warm up, shut it off (wait a few minutes) check oil level and add as needed. Just make sure u have oil pressure once engine is running!

Or when you change the oil see how much comes out and refill with that amount, then start up the engine,check the dipstick and add to the full line.....
