Stroked motor oil levels?

I would like to see a dyno session without one, with one, and with a crank scraper. If you're concerned the level may be too high you could use a 7 quart pan with 6 quarts in it. That would drop the level a small amount so it wouldn't run into the crank. LOL

That's basically what I did on my street 416. I used a Milodon kickout pan and louvered windage tray, which I did have to clearance (the louvers only) for rod bolt clearance. I did some oil level measuring (with water) on the bench and decided that running it one quart low on the stick had the oil considerably lower than the windage tray, static, so I knew with the oil pump turning and oil circulating that it would be even lower. That made the total capacity, with filter, 8 quarts. Had zero problems, with 10w-30 oil, 75lbs at throttle, HV pump and loose clearances.
