Any engine, old or new, can benefit from the advantages of a modern lubricant formulation like this one with its relatively high VI, excellent low-temp performance and strong anti-wear package. Simply because the engine is old doesn't mean it needs to run an "old school" lubricant. I've used Mobil 1 0w-40 extensively in older Ford Windsor engines and wouldn't hesitate to use it in a Cleveland either.
It would be among my first picks for sure. Nectar of the gods and is a great choice in a broad range of applications.
Fwiw I'll be trying devlac 222 0w30 and Mobil 1 0w-40 in my turbo Capri. I figure I might as well use a product that has ample headroom built in.
