Default Coolant Capacity

I've spent the last hour searching and can't find it any where.

What is the coolant capacity on an LT1--how much do I need to buy since I'm about to finally get out there and do my opti.

LT1 coolant capacities for the 4th gen F-body:
With Manual Transmission - 15.3 quarts (14.5 L)

With Automatic Transmission - 15.1 quarts (14.3 L)

as found on my Tech Page in the Coolant Drain and Refill "How to".

For reference, after the radiator and overflow are completely drained, you can fit almost 1 gallon of antifreeze between the radiator and overflow.
