How much water/coolant in a 96?

[O.D. Showtime]

I'm getting my coolant system flushed and was wondering how much coolant and water I should put in. I will be running 60% water and 40% coolant and I have a 3-core Fluidyne radiator (which can obviously hold more coolant). Anyone know the exact amount of water and coolant that should go in? Thanks.

about a gallon and a half of coolant, and the rest water. maybe a bottle or 2 of water wetter for ****s and giggles.

Stock, it should hold 14.1 quarts if it's completely empty, including the block...

When I drained mine recently it took about 8 quarts (4 water/4 coolant) to fill it back up and I didn't drain the block...

I have heard that water wetter and anti-freeze don't mix. Water Wetter is only for 100% water. I thought a chemical reaction will occur. It is like mixing pink and green anti freeze together. Anyone else heard this.

nope, its just not as effective with coolant.
