I=E2=80=99ve already bought A small bottle of ZDDP from Moss and I plan to =
add it
to cheap 20w50 and run it in my rebuilt Motor for 30 minutes. Moss says one
bottle does 5 quarts.  It=E2=80=99s been serval years since this motor has =
run and
I did not turn over when it was in storage. After this 30 minute run time I
plan to drain it and put in Valvoline racing oil with zinc additive. I
wonder if anyone thinks this is a terrible idea? I have run this motor for
about six hours since it was rebuilt.

Not a terrible idea, but I wouldnt put cheap oil in it for your short run.  Put in a quality oil; the difference in cost is insignificant compared to the cost of your rebuild.

As others have said, You could skip the short run, just put in a quality oil and be done.

I've pulled a Triumph engine out of storage after 10-15 years storage with nothing done to it,  not even to the carbs and it fired right up and ran fine.
