smokin stang
 
Just curious if anyone has had a similar problem.
I have just installed an SVO F303 CAM, 1.7 roller rockers, edelbrock performer heads (1.90/1.60), and a Trick Flow manifold. Now, the motor started nicely and ran normally for about 10 min.
then began to smoke.
now it was dark out and the coolant mixture was heavy on the water side so i could not really smell coolant, nor did the smoke look incredibly white. the motor does not backfire or anything that would lead me to believe coolnt was entering directly into the combustion chamber via the head.
Seems to have good compression although the leak down test won't happen till morning.
if anyone has any helpful ideas they would be very appreciated.

I'm almost willing to bet that your got oil on your headers when you installed all the new parts. I just did a head swap on my car and it smoked a little bit too, but it was just the oil burning off the headers.
