The break-in process differs. If you've done a rebuild on the engine, such as Russell, you need to start the car, bring it to operating temp, shut it off and change the oil oil to get rid of all the assembly lube. Run it 500 or so miles and do an oil change again. Stop and go driving with a mix of highway is good break in. Don't keep the revs at one level for more than 15-20 minutes until you've got over 500 miles on it. Other than that, the break in I was suggesting is more for the clutch than the engine. People have two different schools of thought on the engines. Run em hard and they always run hard, or break em in easy. Either way, it's good insurance to change the oil out several times during the break in to get rid of all the extra junk in the engine from a rebuild.
