M52 Custom Oil Pan Level?

[Richard1986]

Hello,
I'm mounting an M52 engine (2.8L, however I believe others have the same size pan) vertically so have a custom oil pan (basically a modified M52 pan) and custom oil pickup.
What I didn't do before chopping up my old oil pan was fill it with the 6.5L of oil to measure how far below (or above) the windage plate the oil is at rest.

Does anyone know this answer?
If not, is there anyone with an old oil pan lying around kind enough to fill it with 6.5L of something and feedback what the levels are?

Appreciate this is a big ask.
This info will help me figure out the min/max oil levels on the dipstick.
