Hey y’all - newer member but love for the FSJ runs deep. In short I am restoring my J10. The J10 has a ‘77 Camaro SBC with the 400 trans. Purchased truck with engine in December.
The engine has been rebuilt, bored and has newer cam and rollers, but still came with original pan. I just replaced the original oil pan and moving to trans pan (old and leaking).
My question is, with not knowing the original miles from the Camaro, what kind of oil should I use. Synthetic seems obvious but I have done some reading and some believe to stay with owners manual suggested type but a lot has been developed over years with oil. Should I go with “High Mileage”? Looking for oil brand and weight recommendations.
I live in Northeast GA. Already at 90 degree weather. 20 miles a week will be the norm. Not going to push hard when driving.
Thanks!
