Oil Weights

[Garry Penn <buildin64@xxxxxxxxx>]

My dad recently purchased a 65 Belv. with a 440, that is a low 12's 
street car. This car also has hydr. lifters, if that makes any 
difference.
The original owner suggested running 50w racing oil, but he lived in 
Oaklahoma, which probably has higher avg temps that we do here in 
Michigan.
Straight 50w seems to heavy when your temps drop to 30/40 degrees F or 
so?
Any suggestions as what to use for oil if your in a state that varies 
from say 40 degrees F to 90 degress F?
Or should I try and speak with the person who built the engine, and see 
what they suggest? I do have all the spec's and parts used in the engine 
rebuild.
Thanks in advance.
