Yup. Just add an extra quart to the stock pan. By Dave Shoe - 09/28/2001 2:07:55 PM; IP 12.2.11.131 Ford didn't change the pan when it recalibrated the dip stick on the CJ engines, so it seems reasonable to add a quart to any fast FE. There might be a drawback to doing this in a non-CJ car, however. The CJ might have gotten away with the extra quart because of the windage tray. It's possible that adding an extra quart to an FE without a windage tray might cause the extra oil to whip out at high-RPMs because of the crank windage. I don't suspect this would be a serious problem, but it's possible, and it might cause unusual smoking when high-RPMs are attempted. All just my opinion, Shoe.

This thread, so far...
