Oil viscosity on new rebuild

I have a freshly complete rebuilt 3.0 SC. Prior to the rebuild, I was using 20-50. What should I use now?
Thanks

Brad Penn or Swepco 20W50 unless you live in cold country- then 10W40

+1. If the rebuild is COMPLETELY fresh (zero to 100 miles), I'd recommend the Brad Penn 30w "break-in oil".
