Re: What oil viscosity in fresh SBC in cold weather?
Unless you're using it very hard for some duration anything thicker than 10w40 is unnecessary. If I was gonna put 5w30 in any small block it'd be something like your scenario - fresh engine, cool weather, gentle use. The high volume pump should make it even safer to use thinner oil as it'll further guarantee good supply.
