I am not an expert on this but I talked to my engine builder yesterday and he said to use the Mobil 1 synthetic in my 428 punched out to 440. He told me they are using it in all of their racing engines and have never had a problem. Should get mine home today I hope.

Ernie,

Don't worry about leaks and dips. That is the trademark of a Ford FE engine. Just watch out for the steady stream coming out the bottom because of an oil pan failure. Some of the oil pans have been known to fail to hold broken rods and such inside.
