I think it would be best for you to call Summit Racing directly (1-800-230-3030) and ask their tech sales rep your question.

If you haven't already, I also think it will help you a lot to read through some of the readily available books on how to rebuild a small block Chrysler magnum engine. Here are a few that will help:

Just 10w30. What the manual calls for. Run it for 500 miles, change the oil. Go another thousand, change it again, after that, whatever interval the oil you use calls for.

Dino oil is actually better for break-in....
