My 427 cobra has a 428 FE engine, and my engine builder said that after 1,500 miles on the engine, it is OK to use synthetics.
Otherwise; if you use syn too soon, you would prevent the break in process.
I also heard much discussion about oils that contain zinc, to help the scoring of flat tappet camshafts in vintage engines.
