oil capacity/level

19 Mar 2011, 1:16pm
Hi, i have a 2.0 pinto engine thats come out of a kit car and is currently sitting in a Ford capri.
The sump has been lowered and is 5 inch deep.
Does anybody have an idea of the correct oil level/capacity. It seems the dipstick has been shortened and only sits about an inch into the sump with the dipstick pipe/cover in place.

Id be grateful if anyone can help. I could of course just fit a standard sump but as the cars been lowered i'd prefer to keep it

thanks
Guy
