94 f-250 help PLEASE!!
Just bought a 94 f-250, on the short drive home I noticed lost of smoke behind me. I pulled into my driveway and oil was running out of the block. I quickly turned it off and found that the oil sending unit was rusted and leaking. I know have tried everything to get it out and it was badly rusted into block. I have since ground it down flush and filled it with liquid metal. Is there another place on the 351W block I can hook an oil pressure gauge to? Also the dipstick tube was rotted and I swapped it for a cheesy chrome one and I dont think it has the right oil level line. How many quarts of oil does this motor hold? Was there any bigger oil pan options available from factory? I hope its just standard 5 qt. Please help me. Thanks Shawn

A 94 holds 5 quarts of oil. The only place to put an oil pressure guage is where your old one used to be. Maybe if you get a kit to relocate the oil filter, you figure out a way to splice the sending unit into that.

For the longest time I thought I only needed 5 qts. Even read right on the dipstick. My buddies 96 took 6 qts. I then looked it up and it does indeed read 6 qts total for mine also. Why the hell is my dipstick wrong!?
