    go to the http://forums.vintage-mustang.com/showforum.php?fid/9/

    or

    http://www.hipomustang.com/hpmx/default.asp

    and do a search on those forums archives. There is more info than you will need.

    I use Mobil 1 15w-50, mainly for the reduction in friction over conventional oils. Others swear by dinosaur oil. Whichever one you use, look for a high zinc or zddp number. 1000 ppm or higher. That will protect your cam & lifters. The Mobil 1 15w-50 has a zddp number of 1200 ppm.
