This happened this past summer to 78F350 (Jon) when he rescued the car that is now my Spec Boxster build. His solution after adding oil and it not showing on the dipstick was to check the dash display with the ignition turned to the first position. It showed full, and sure enough, he had to drain oil from the engine prior to starting.
Check the dash display before you go too far down the rabbit hole.
