Default Re: Oil Recommendation/Solid lifter 427
I prefer Amsoil full synthetic HD Racing oil for a motor that is broken in.... That stuff is very slippery also... I run it in my Nova (L78) solid lifter motor and really like it...

I'm gonna try the Lucas Oil Additive with conventional 20W50 Castrol in the L34 motor I have and see how well that combo works until I get some more miles on the motor...

Joe is correct, there is lots of "hype" on what kinds of oils to use.. And as far as the hardened seats and leaded fuel goes, I think thats a lot of "huey" also unless your going to drive the car everyday and put lots of miles on it.. My friend has a 325 HP 396 motor in his 66 Chevelle and never put hardened seats in the heads and has always run unleaded fuel in the motor and has never had a problem. The motor has been together for 20 plus years...
