| It varies with application. |

Since the Fe engine is typically tilted back when installed in a car, the oil level is not parallel with the pan rail.
Other issues come into play when determining a stock production engine oil level, and most do not apply to a racing engine build.
The early 428CJ used 5 quarts and had the same oil pan as any other FE car of the 1968-69 era. Midyear 1969 the CJ oilpan baffling was revised to support the fast acceleration rates of CJ equipped cars, but this redesigned pan only offered benefits if an extra quart was added to the pan. A recalibrated dipstick was standard equipment on these later CJ cars, and the windage tray was also added at this time to help constrain the oil supply to where it was needed.
