Which is the preferred choice for a first 30 minute start on a completely new rebuilt engine with a Raby cam and lifters? Penn or Gibbs break in oil. Mineral oil or synthetic?

Bradd Penn, SAE 30W Grade1 Pen-7120 .

Joe Gibbs, 5-30 BR30. or BR10-40.

I have heard also that starting the engine out of the car (914) is a way to identify any build/leak issues…..

Yes, but the difficulty comes when you need to crank it to start it.
Hooking up power and gauges is the easy part.
To crank it you need the starter which means you need to bolt the tranny on which means you cant use the regular engine stand which means you need to build a dedicated stand yada, yada, etc.

I was going to go that route, but when I looked over and saw the car sitting up on stands, I figured it was much easier to stick the engine up in there than to build a stand.
