[Tigers] Best Dino Oil for 260/289/302?

[Tony Somebody]

I do not use Castrol 30 or 40W  now as I went to their synthetic oil a couple
years back. But I used it in my first two Tigers, which covered from 1972 thru
1984 if memory serves. I always liked the product, for what that is worth. It
is easy to see when it needs changing, no matter the mileage. I strongly
believe that changing your oil regularly is the life of an engine, so if your
cars overheats severely, I would change the oil as I believe the extreme high
temps helps to break the oil down.

I have no interest in Castrol, but in my lifetime I have met several guys 
that have worked in oil company labs, all fo them said Castrol was better
than  any oil they tested including their own. None of them worked for
Castrol.
Just an FYI.

I am  trying to figure out the best choice of dino oil for the 289  engine.
Because the engine is freshly rebuilt and needs to be run in, I  don't want
to use synthetic (too slippery).  What grade oil are you  all using, 20W50?
