    About 2.5 to 2.75 quarts to bring it to the bottom of the fill hole in my experience.
    1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM. Lincoln logs into stock dual exhaust. K&N drop in air filter. Wide ratio AOD, 2400 converter with a 3.08 one tire fire out back. Car is less slow now. Then there's the '92 Beater. Dual 2.25" exhaust with shiny tips. Rumbles nice. Super slow. Burns oil too.

      Yep, another 1/2 to 3/4 qt, tops, should do it nicely!!

        In regards to changing the diff fluid often --

        I think the rebuilder wants to make sure that all metal worn off the gears is removed so that it doesn't keep circulating around with the rest of the fluid.

        That being said, I keep staring at the aluminum differential covers at http://www.yourcovers.com/diffcover_ford88.php They have the added benefit of a magnetic drain plug to trap those metal particles.

          Those are some funky looking covers!
