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

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
