Oil Suggestions

Does anybody have any suggestions on what brand of oil to use in the 460s?

Honestly? Find the bottle that's your favorite color and purchase it. Brand doesn't matter, at all. If your wallet is extra heavy you can buy your favorite color in synthetic, if you want.

The 460 is an old engine that dates back to the '60s, and it was designed with not-very-good oil in mind. You can run pretty much anything in it, and it will be happy.

As with any flat tappet cam, you should run high zinc oil like Brad Penn, Valvoline VR-1, etc.
