Oil capcity

I just purchased a 1977 F-150 4WD with a 351 Modified engine. The oil dip stick is not original and the previous owner made a mark on it to show "full" but is not sure about the capacity of the oil pan. Rather than go by his mark, I would like to know how many quarts I should add with an oil and filter change. I don't have the owners manual.
Thank you.
