I thought truck 360's ran 6 qts? Oil dip stick does show one qt low but I don't always trust aftermarket dipsticks. https://secure.pawengineparts.com/shoppingcart/ShowItem.cfm?itemid=9317&catid=598 1970 FE5 Duster 360/904/3.91's SOLD 1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.

I'll call PAW to see if they can verify the capacity for the pan.
