If a shop, I would tell them you want the motor broken in properly with break in fluids.

When you supply the materials for a shop to use, you set yourself up for liability. If the engine fails on start up, they can claim you gave them the wrong oil, etc.

A great example is windshields, if you have a shop install one and they break it, it's on their dime. If you supply the windshield and they break it, you're paying for another windshield.
Mechanic is a friend who owns a garage. Been using him for 20 yrs. Definitely good advice. I'm actually having to wait in line, He does a lot of the muscle car projects in area. I'm about a week out, I hope weather holds, I hate to put the top back on.
Using Joe Gibbs "Driven 10-40" . All the test analysis show it very high in quality. The also make a oil for our old stuff, for the daily driver oil, high in zinc.
