Engine break in and supplies (questions)

Well, im just about ready to break in my motor on the stand, And would like to here some opinons for break in methods aswell as what oil to use.
I have the understanding that a non- synthetic oil is recomended for engine break in... but what brand and weight of oil should i go with eh?.

My motor is a 1914cc type-1, the temps that i will incounter are in the low 30s to low 50's.
After break in i would like to run a full sythetic, how many hours/ miles is recomend till i make the swap from dino oil to synthetic? (I have never done a engine break in, or had much experiece with almost new cars)

Thanks,
Jonathan
