For the first 1600 km's or 1000 miles on a new engine just use regular oil. The reason being is that you want MORE friction in the engine to help the parts wear properly for a good "break in", synthetic oil has such good lubrication properties that it can interfere with proper engine break in.

How do you properly break in a new 350 engine for a 1969 Chevelle?
If the engine has a flat tappet camshaft you will need to break in the cam first. Start the engine and run it between 2000 and 3500 RPM for 30 minutes, gently changing engine speed between 2000 and 3500. Do NOT let the engine idle while breaking in the cam!!!! If you encounter any problems during cam break-in, shut the engine off, address the problem, then resume break-in. Once the cam is broken in, Change the oil and filter, and simply drive it normally, but don't run it hard for at least 1,000 miles. After 1,000 miles, everything is pretty well seated and the important wear patterns have been established, so you can drive it any way you want.
