engine break-in oil replacement?

hi guys, i have a 2.1l built block ready to start but im wondering what engine oil to use for break in, i live in pakistan so we dont have specific break in oil's or additives, so what should i run in my new block to break in the motor?

i used to run the redline 15-40 in my stock motor can i use that to break in the new motor?

Don't use anything synthetics. Anyting strictly conventional will work just fine. I used Castrol GTX.

There are a lot of amsoil venders on here. I've used both amsoil and brad penn on engines and had success. Summit Racing can get you brad penn to your doorstep in three days business days. Not bad in my book.

Non synthetic like Valvoline 10w40 it won't be in more than a few miles anyway.
