    Worked out pretty good, I got the sbf chrome dipstick from advanced auto for $10. I forgot what size hole I drilled, started with a size I knew was too small and went up until it was tight. I have an after market oil pan and I'm not sure about the exact capacity, but it should be around the stock capacity (5 qts :hmmm: Someone correct me if I'm wrong). 5 qts after circulation through the engine puts the oil level a little above the full mark on the dipstick. I don't see oil blowing out anywhere so it should be close .
