Default Oil pressure chevy 350

Hey guys i got a restored 1985 k10 with a rebuilt chevy 350 bored over .30 to a 355. At idle the oil pressure is 60 psi. Is this ok??? And cruising its about 77 psi. Im using shell rotella 15w-40 for the oil because thats what the guy said to use. Any answers guys??

Well I mean it should be any difference as long everything lined up when it was built, like the exhaust manifold, head bolts, etc. Sometimes when you crossed heads and blocks or intakes, you have make "It Work" but thats not really that high of oil pressure as long it aint running at like 20-30 at a good steady speed you should ok man, if you need any help man. just hollar, appreciate ya.
