It's a TBI SBC. It's not from 1956. Loads of TBI SBC's from the 1980s and 1990s ran 10w30 and 5w30 since new.
It's the same mill but with cetnerbolt valve covers and a one piece rear main seal. I can't remember what year they switched to roller cams.
First car I ever drove was an 1988 Sierra. TBI is a lot closer to a carb than MPFI.
Cars in 87 and Truck in 95 for roller cams. My point was they still came with 10w30 and 5w30 multigrades from the factory.
