These companies are not going to tarnish threir names so give it a shot mate.
I have a 427 FE Side oiler and the smoking between shifts was due to bad valve seals. Also try using Valvoline 20-50 VR1 racing oil thjis might help. These engines have large tolerances and thin oils tend to make the smoking.
Hope this works for you mate.

Hi lou
Thanks for the advise but i bought the motor from a dealer in the USA, it was almost $4000 cheaper, our aussie doller is very strong against the US dollar, if i bought it here i would have simply have sent it back to them and they would have got it repaired, ive got the car back now, its fixed i'm going to start a new thread on what the problem was.
cheers chris.
