It may take 6.5 to 7, so watch out... We have had 2 302s that required 7qts to full, and my 351 take 6.5..

I measured mine when I changed to oil and filter in it. Also the Haynes Manual states that its a 6 quart system, unless it has a deep oil pan, it should take 6 quarts. This is for an EFI 302 5.0 engine.
