Based on manual, should be 5.5 quarts with filter change. did that. barely registers on the stick. added the last 1/2 quart from the 1 qt container (1 gal + 1 qt containers), and oil level rose to about half the ADD mark on the stick. Made sure the stick was firmly in place, trailer level, and let it sit for 30 minutes. engine does fire up and i see 40psi on the gauge. I also saw the oil drain from the top of the valve area, and also made sure it wasn't draining into bilge.
So my question is is 5.5 right? Seeing where some say they put 8 in. a video i watched had 9 qts but used 8. Some 6.5. I figured since a 'standard' chevy 305 5.5 would be right.
