Smoking 460

Hey guys,sorry it took so long to get back,but here's what I found. Upon disassembly, I found the valley pan, also known as a "turkey pan", had been bent with a kink in it, causing a small hole,therefore allowing oil to seep through,which in turn was being dumped into the intake and burning out through the exhaust.Needless to say, I had a few choice words for the previous installer.I didn't take any chances, and installed a new long block.The engine had developed lower end noise and figured this was the best solution.
