    At this point, about your only option is to drain it and use oil with a high zinc content such as Amsoil, Lucas or Royal Purple. I think you'll be OK - especially if you haven't run the engine yet.

    Are you saying that Royal Purple is the synthetic that you put in, and are now concerned about? Royal Purple has a mineral based non-synthetic break in oil, fortified with zinc and phosphorus that is good stuff.

    Yes the oil I put in it was Royal Purple. Should I drain it out and put the Royal Purple break in oil in.

    Yes, drain the synthetic, replace with RP Break In Oil, and save the synthetic for your first oil change after the break in is done.

    Why did you waste money on a junk pile sbc when you could have gotten a decent engine in the first place?
    Too many toys, not enough money, but a very loving and understanding wife
