Thirty years ago when we were racing those 350/400 transmissions we used Ford type F fluid. It was supposed to be a better fluid and made the trans shift better. That may have changed over the years.

With a dry stock converter 10 quarts total. Add 6, start it briefly to fill converter, add 3 1/2, then add to full when warmed up.
