A few suggestions and questions:

- How much oil did you put in it? I think 9.5 quarts is about right, oil overfill will make it smoke.
- Were the P&Cs in spec? Did you put new rings, and did you verify the ring lands and rings gap? Did you make sure you did not line up the ring gaps?
- Were the heads rebuilt?
