well you have to fill the oil holes,, pushrods,, and wet the inside of the motor,,,, i usually see a qt and a half on my motor when its new,,, i pour in 9.5 qts,,, prime it,,, drain the pan and have 8 in the bucket..

i know a few guys who have spun bearings cause they put their motor together and just ran the "usual" amount,, which really was a qt or two low

Interesting.................I usually race w/6 quarts in my 8 quart pan up to 7500 rpm`s but havn`t tore the bottom end down yet in over six years. My oil pressure is rock solid hot even w/my "witches brew" of 5-20 Valvoline crude mixed w/Mobile 1 AND I`ve run Valvoline syn. oil in my 8 3/4 w/Richmonds and a spool for ever.
