If I remember right, I think it's about 13 quarts of total coolant, which would be 6 qts antifreeze, 7 qts water and some water wetter. I'm sure someone will look it up to verify.

When I did my PI intake swap I remember buying 2 Bottles of the Prestone Pre Mix antifreeze.

Since I didn't completely drain my block of the old coolant(it wasn't too old) I only used approximately 1.5 bottles to fill it back up.

Not a very accurate estimate, but it should give you an idea.
