I'll guess 3-4 gallons. Two gallons each of anti freeze and water should cover it. Anodes I've seen screw into the lower radiator tank in place of the drain petcock. Don't know where to get them... I'd try Summit.

distilled (not demineralized) water/good green antifreeze (iirc the GO-5 even better)/zinc anode/several drops of liquid dish soap (cheap water wetter,reduces surface tension for better heat transfer). 2 gal of AF will b enough (50/50 protects to -35 F below zero). Ply72rr thanks for the anode link as I need to get one

it will have a gal. of anti freeze in it but no reason to as said before it has its own heated garage under the house it does not go out side unless it is really nice no chance of rain in 10 years the car has seen rain one time(in front of the garage) its angies pride and joy and she pampers the heck out of it lol
just got back from buying some red line water wetter to add to it
