My car has a 1974 455 with stock oil pan. The previous owner says the dip stick is not marked correctly for the engine and that the engine builder told him to add 5 quarts and mark the stick, which he never did. I plan to add 4 quarts and mark the add level, and then add a fifth and mark the full level. However, I have heard aboout some stock oil pans with 6 quart capacities. Does anyone know what is correct?
yep. every time I see that, i think IROC. (as in CrapMaro)...
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice!
