Don't bet on it.  We measured with the oil pan off the engine when I was
having oil pump pickup problems.  It was a bit unscientific, but 4 quarts of
water fit in the pan when the bottom of the pan was on a level surface.
Certainly, the oil sloshes, splashes, and drains all over the gasket on the
lower side of the engine.

I'm pretty sure that the static oil level in the pan is above the gasketed
joint between the oil pan and block on the left side of the engine.
