Yeah, its pretty much based on your oil pan. A typical number for a "T" style pan that kicks out is 7 quarts.

Mine holds 8 quarts in a Canton race oilpan, but my engine needs every drop.

Normally the engine builder puts a mark on the dipstick. Be very careful about overfilling. Whipped oil does not pump or lubricate very well.

In photo #1 you can see where the dipstick is supposed to go. That is the old stock Ford crate oil pan so the others recommendation of 5 quarts should be close. Don't know if they are counting the filter and whether or not you have an oil cooler.

5 qts in your stock pan +/- the filter... if you have a oil cooler possibly a qt and a half more...depends on the size of the oil cooler.

I have the Canton T pan and with the remote filter and oil cooler, it takes just over 8 quarts for mine to be full after I run the engine. The remote filter lines and the cooler and lines take a little, so that is what adds to mine.
