60 Corvette
Hello Everyone, my name is Billy Winters and I am a new member (glad I found this site). I have a 1960 Corvette (with both tops) and just finished a complete "Body Off" restoration.
My question is: Since this is a complete rebuild of the engine 283-230 HP what brand and weight engine oil should I use? I know the oil should contain "zinc" but what brand is best?
Thanks for the help.

Pictures will of course be posted, once the car is finished with the vintage air installation and I figure out exactly how to post them to this forum.
Thanks for all the help.
I will try to post a picture of it before the AC work is done.
