I have a similar engine (Roush 427SR). They recommended 10-30W for 3000 mile break in. I did mine for 1500 miles then switched to 15-50W synthetic since I do track days.

Brad Penn oils are partial synthetic. Regular 10/30 would work well for the break-in period. Sinjin, you said the engine had been stored, so maybe you've already broken it in. You might want to check with the builder.
