[DeTomaso] Correct amount of oil for an Armondo 10 qt pan.

A bit more info on the question "How much oil should be in a 351C engine oil pan?", back in the last century Mike Cook was working for Gary Hall on a Bonneville Pantera. Mike made a plexiglas rocker cover to check high speed oiling of the valves etc. Imagine his surprise when at 6000 rpms, he couldn't see anything at all! Turned out the transparent rocker cover was full of opaque oil! A stock 351C block & heads has inadequate oil drainback at high rpm with a stock oil pump, and it's worse with a hi-vol / hi-pressure pump.
Very early 351-C blocks from 1969-1970 came from Ford with two extra oil drain-back passages in back of the valley, discontinued in later blocks. Probably because a 351C with stock hydraulic lifters floats valves at around 5800-5900, right where our tach redline is, so they figured extra drainbacks were unnecessary & they could save a buck on block machining (I'm guessing). This was about the time when Ford was also recommending 4-1/2 qts in a stock 351C pan to reduce foaming.
More checking proved that at 6000 rpms, the rocker covers were indeed full of oil, which Mike Cook said held about 1-1/2 qts each with valves, springs and whatever in there, leaving only about 2 full quarts down in a stock '5-qt' oil pan (plus whatever was in the block's oil passages & filter)! So based on those tests, Mike's recommendation back then was to 'ALWAYS use a 10-qt oil pan on a Cleveland and run at least 7 quarts in it'- 8 quarts if you were playing cars at Muroc dry lakes, Bonneville or Riverside Raceway. Note- 10-qt unbaffled 'bucket pans' turned out to be useless, too.
Most engine guys already know that in drag racing or even amateur night at a traffic light, a decent running Cleveland with aftermarket springs, cam & lifters will easily turn 6500 or more in low & 2nd gear. A few (exact number unknown) 'momentary' air-sucks at the oil pump inlet from low oil levels will quickly waste rod and main bearings. So in our Panteras- most of which are nowhere near 'stock', there's a rather narrow window of safe oil volume in a near-mandatory 10-qt pan. Too much and we get oil foaming, seal leaks and reduced power. Too little and we gain power and cheaper oil changes, but risk losing bearings. YMMV as I said.Jack D

Good Point Steve, to add a little reality dynamic to the static testing.
The "10 quart" Avaid Oil Pan holds 8 quarts brim full, plus a 9th filter quart. To the Full line.
7 quarts to the ADD line, 8 quarts mid Full, 9 quarts to the full line, then add one quart(?) to go racing to plaster against the sides of the block.
1-G side load means all the oil is plastered to the side of the engine block, which is the reason for the next step of dry sump oiling systems.
An engine out of oil always runs best right before they blow.

FWIW, I've seen this same episode also and would add only it's important to remember the test were run on an engine stand, not in a car making high g turns that could potentially cause oil pump starvation.

Horsepower also increased by as much as 40 horses!. This makes me feel vindicated about always running only 6-7 qts in our engine's '10-qt' pan.

And to be 'safe' if your hot-rod 'Silver State' Cleveland has never been on a dyno and you have a10-qt oil pan, stay away from extended use of 6000 rpms until you know oil foaming isn't a problem at an 8+ qt fill!.

-------------- next part --------------
A bit more info on the question "How much oil should be in a 351C
engine oil pan?", back in the last century Mike Cook was working for
Gary Hall on a Bonneville Pantera. Mike made a plexiglas rocker cover
to check high speed oiling of the valves etc. Imagine his surprise when
at 6000 rpms, he couldn't see anything at all! Turned out the
transparent rocker cover was full of opaque oil! A stock 351C block &
heads has inadequate oil drainback at high rpm with a stock oil pump,
and it's worse with a hi-vol / hi-pressure pump.
Very early 351-C blocks from 1969-1970 came from Ford with two extra
oil drain-back passages in back of the valley, discontinued in later
blocks. Probably because a 351C with stock hydraulic lifters floats
valves at around 5800-5900, right where our tach redline is, so they
figured extra drainbacks were unnecessary & they could save a buck on
block machining (I'm guessing). This was about the time when Ford was
also recommending 4-1/2 qts in a stock 351C pan to reduce foaming.
More checking proved that at 6000 rpms, the rocker covers were indeed
full of oil, which Mike Cook said held about 1-1/2 qts each with
valves, springs and whatever in there, leaving only about 2 full quarts
down in a stock '5-qt' oil pan (plus whatever was in the block's oil
passages & filter)! So based on those tests, Mike's recommendation back
then was to 'ALWAYS use a 10-qt oil pan on a Cleveland and run at least
7 quarts in it'- 8 quarts if you were playing cars at Muroc dry lakes,
Bonneville or Riverside Raceway. Note- 10-qt unbaffled 'bucket pans'
turned out to be useless, too.
Most engine guys already know that in drag racing or even amateur night
at a traffic light, a decent running Cleveland with aftermarket
springs, cam & lifters will easily turn 6500 or more in low & 2nd gear.
A few (exact number unknown) 'momentary' air-sucks at the oil pump
inlet from low oil levels will quickly waste rod and main bearings. So
in our Panteras- most of which are nowhere near 'stock', there's a
rather narrow window of safe oil volume in a near-mandatory 10-qt pan.
Too much and we get oil foaming, seal leaks and reduced power. Too
little and we gain power and cheaper oil changes, but risk losing
bearings. YMMV as I said.

Good Point Steve, to add a little reality dynamic to the static
testing.
The "10 quart" Avaid Oil Pan holds 8 quarts brim full, plus a 9th
filter quart. To the Full line.
7 quarts to the ADD line, 8 quarts mid Full, 9 quarts to the full line,
then add one quart(?) to go racing to plaster against the sides of the
block.
1-G side load means all the oil is plastered to the side of the engine
block, which is the reason for the next step of dry sump oiling
systems.
An engine out of oil always runs best right before they blow.

Most people find they require 8.5-9 quarts including a bone dry filter.
If you pre-fill the filter it will easily hold a half quart which would
