Oil Pan volume
What would be the oil capacity of a 78 suburban 454? The pan measures 8 1/4" deep from mounting flange to drain plug.

If is the stock pan and a 1/2 or 3/4 ton Suburban, capacity is 5.1 quarts plus filter - so six would be appropriate.
The 454 used in 1 ton (and larger) applications used an extra quart."Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." John Basil Barnhil

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
