I have factory pattern 383 HP and I just use whatever, usually Super Tech 15w-40. Sometimes I try straight 30, 10w30, 10w-40, it doesn't seem to matter that much. However, the original valve train is nothing extreme.

If I had the current aftermarket steep cam and high spring pressure, I would be a lot more cautious.
