crate SBC 350 oil capacity?
what is the oil capacity with a standard filter on a SBC crate motor? Its a 260 hp base GM crate with what looks like the stock steel pan. I just changed the oil and added 5 quarts and a new filter, and the chrome dipstick reads about a quart low, maybe a bit above that... Is what is the stock capicity with a filter? I've heard 5 quarts, and I've also heard 5 and a half with a filter... let me know, i don't want to overfill it, but i don't want it under either.

Five quarts with filter on every SBC I've owned - except my LT-1 Vette, which says 4.5. Are you sure you have the right dipstick?Jack

its a taiwan chrome job, not necessarily accurate, which was why i asked, because right now i know it has exactly 5 quarts including the oil in the filter, and i will mark the stick at this spot if thats all the more it should hold, even though itsd reading just a bit above the add mark.

So installing the trex bed wood got me thinking about all the heat from the exhaust and the possible melting of the wood. Also noticed the floor on the passenger side getting hot on a warm day. So...
