1985 Ford F-150
Country Boys Can Survive
Well I got the 360 in my 72 and it has a rear sump pan on it. I went to check the oil today and it was way below where it should be it looked like there was only a couple quarts in there. I never checked the dipstick when I changed the oil in it like I was supposed to. It has really high oil pressure and I guess thats cause I put 15w40 in it. I put in six quarts and I dont hink it coulda burned that much oil without me knowin it. My 390 burns a ton and its very noticable with how much smoke comes out of it. The 360 I only saw a very small ammount comin out of the right bank tailpipe. It does smoke a bit on startup but I dont think that woulda burned that much oil. I looked in my books and they all say 6 quarts but I dont know if thats for front sump or rear. The guys at napa told me anywhere from 8 to 12 quarts. It also has alot of rocker chatter but I think its from wear and not this.
