So Dan I guess that your not a beliver in what Crane has been saying
for some time?

Their advice and mine aren't all that different. They list Rotella as an OK alternative, and (to clarify my position) using it won't cause a disaster, but there are much better oils on the market.

As far as additives, yep, I'd forgotten about the Zn-based additives all the major automakers supply (can get it over the counter from a Mopar dealer, GM dealer, etc.), and it's probably a good idea to use.

But straight 20-weight? Naw, I don't buy that.

Got your meaning.
I don't know about the strait weight for sure, but I do know
that 10w-30 never reaches 30, more like 27 to 28,
it's just a range rate ......
agree 100% with using Zn (what ever brand)
and do not use anything syn.

How about clifford head, intake, headers, cam, fuel injection, supercharger from the supercharger store on a nice rebuilt balanced blueprinted engine bored to what ever and then all the fiberglass pieces you can find, fenders, hood, trunk, bumpers, doors (not recomended for street use), and a kick ass trans either 5speed or 4speed auto and a nice rear end setup
