You can't find Mobil 1 locally?
Mob1 15W50 and 0W40 both have sufficient ZDDP for flat tappet cams and are recommended by Mobil for their customers that are running flat tappet cams.
I can easily find both of these oils at big box stores in my area.
I have run Brad Penn oil in the past, but switched to Mob1 for the same reason you give above - I didn't like having to mail order my oil.
I've been using Mob1 for about the last 10 years. Initial break in on my 462 was done with conventional Valvoline 20W50 back in 2013. Mob1 went in after the second oil change at 2,000 miles on the engine.
