I don't think I would use the synthetic to break in my old big block but these newer engines are already being broken in with synthetic from the factory.  I can give any factual evidence of why one is better or worse than the other for either engine though.

Well I know for sure the 6.1L comes from the factory with Mobile 1 Synthetic......if its a crate motor then more than likely the engine has been broken in already....
