Mine took 7 gallons of Fleetrite/distilled/SCA mix to fill the system after a radiator replacement that included draining the block; 8 gallons would include the reservoir. My 88 service manual says 31 quarts total, so it jives with Exekiel and my numbers. I was only picking nits so that you make sure to get your SCAs mixed in during the initial fill...
