stock 454 oil capacity
what is the stock oil capacity for the 454s from 73-87?
we swapped a 454 on our 79 C30. We have an original owners manual for a 79, says 6 qts. the engine we swapped in is supposedly out of a 76 pickup originally, was mostly irrelevant because we rebuilt it all, BUT we did use the oil pan on it. had no dipstick so I bought a replacement dipstick for a 79 454.
engine is exactly on full with only 5 quarts.
just want to figure out if I had the wrong oil pan, maybe the wrong dipstick, or if it really is supposed to only be 5 quarts
