The full mark should be the same.
Yes it will take more oil and you may have to run it for a minute to fill the oil lines and filter, then check and top up to the full mark. Filter is about a half quart, if the cooler is in the rear maybe another half quart extra. Run for a 15-30 seconds, let sit a few minutes and check level. Cooler and lines will fill in seconds, I'd expect to see the idiot light to go out in less than 10 seconds. |

Yes, but for cornering on the track, I want to 'overfill' the engine, with the old trick of 4 qts instead of the 3.5 qts that it would take to fill the engine to the dip stick MAX mark. But I guess in this lies the answer, I could fill it up to MAX and add 0.5 qts.... |

The add/full marks on the dipstick are about half a quart.

Somewhat unrelated, but when full and cold is the oil above or below the lifters or pushrod tube openings?

Should be below, by a decent margin!
