I was going to use Rotella on my fresh build (PONTIAC! ) Any other suggestions? Purple Power?

by "purple power" I'll assume you meant "royal purple"? I have some killer degreaser/floor cleaner soap thats called purple power. I don't think that would make a very good break in oil, but it will wash away all your assembly lube in short order! I wouldn't use the purple stuff, I believe it's all synthetic oil, and was not aware that the purple stuff came in a conventional oil? I did run the purple synthetic in my flat tappet big block after break in on the engine dyno and 1000 street miles, never had a problem.

New cam break-in I just use cheap wallmart oil & a bottle of whatever favorite additive. Then for under load driving on a new engine I'll drain the old cheap stuff and use Amsoil. Tight clearances 5w30, loose 15w-40. IF yours is a Pontiac 400 then straight 50 weight

Last two break-ins over the past year, I have used the Brad Penn 30wt oil made for this purpose, no need to add anything else to it.

Brad Penn it will be
I need to fill it today so I can bar it over to attach the torque converter and trans and I will finish putting the carb, pulleys, etc back on, then Monday I can send it out for the exhaust and next weekend is the startup
