1985 351 Windsor with 2 engine oil dipsticks.

I currently have 7 qts of oil in my truck what harm will that do?

The pan mounted tube is only 12" long and I think it should be

about 9" longer to read properly, how is the tube installed?

Thank you.

It just means the crank has to churn through that extra oil.

Sapping power and heating the oil as the counterweights whip it into a froth.

I'm not the Windsor expert. (Why I asked if your stick was in pan or block)

But the tube on my 460 pan is held with a collet nut to the threaded boss set in the side of the pan.

Gary dove deep into getting these things to seal.

There was some discussion of dipstick lengths there.

(Again, not about Windsors) but it could give you an idea of what's available.
