Here ya'll go...
took 11qts to submerge the drainback. 12 to fill the pan. I'd say 9 should be no problem considering there will be a lot of oil in the filter and engine when running. I'll be relocating the oil filter so I might even be able to go 10qts easily. As mentioned, the crank is way above the pan line so windage is not a concern really.
