Swepco for the 901 tranny and 30wt non-detergent for a start up and run in to seat the rings on the rebuit motor.

I just got a bunch of plain old Coastal 80/90 gear oil at my FLAPS. If its good enough for red-beard...

For motor, use dino kendall or castrol 20/50, unless its real cold where you are.

Nope...I'm in Florida...I'll be OK.

I know it's good to re set the valves, when should the oil change out with thr run in?

no more than 500 miles

I agree: non-detergent 30 weight for 500 miles, then the QUALITY oil you prefer.
