What kind of oil do you use on a Ford muscle car?
On the rebuild I use Rotella diesel oil and solved the problem. On the next engine the had changed the Rotella and removed the zinc additives so I used Valvoline’s racing oil on that engine as it had the good additives in it. That worked well but was expensive.

What kind of oil do you use for a rebuilt FE engine?
I have rebuilt 4 FE engines in the past 6 years for different cars. The first two I use the standard grade oil and wiped the cam out on both engines within the first 1000 miles. On the rebuild I use Rotella diesel oil and solved the problem.
