Default How many quarts of tranny fluid

Hey guys, im going to have my engine/tranny all ready for fluids late next week and am just wondering how many quarts the 4l60e with a 9.5" converter is going to take. I need to know so i can order some stuff offline.
Thanks

Per the factory manual it should be 11 quarts if the trans has been rebuilt or a new trans is installed.

You wind up with several hundred pounds of useless scrap metal that used to be your transmission.

Isnt that with a stock 12" converter though. A tranny with a 9.5" converter is going to need less fluid, correct?
