Reply to "10Qt pan oil volume"

Jan,

The Fontana block may change things.

If it positions the dipstick tube entry point to the block higher or lower (where it enters the block relative to the crankshaft centerline) to the tube entry point on the ford Cleveland block, adjustments will need to be made.

If the Fontana entry point is higher, filling to your dipstick's full reading would actually be overfilling. Lower would be underfilled.

Your 38" dipstick is a good thing and will give you the proper oil level, as long as no one has shortened the tube for some obscure reason or you have an aftermarket tube not made to the proper dimensions.

Do you have a photo of the front of the Fontana that shows where the dipstick tube enters the block?
