This is Exhausting!!:-rip

My dad and I just put in a rebuilt 302 EFI into my 1986 xlt Bronco. The problem is, is that about 2-5 miles down the road, it really.....I mean REALLY has a strong exhaust smell as well as a cloud of white/gray exhasut coming out. It is so bad as a matter of fact that I almost smoked out the kid at the Dairy Queen Drive through....embarassing! Any ideas, bad injector, never did it before the new rebuilt. Any ideas would be appreciated!

'86 full size
4" rancho suspension lift
33" Dueller AT's
other fun stuff.

is it a new exhaust? Was it just burning off the rust preventer? If not it sounds like a head gasket problem with coolant being burned due to the color of the smoke.

Head gasket is fine, when coolant burns it smells funky. Plus, the coolant level has stayed the same and temp is running fine. I wonder if I damaged an injector when I put the fuel system back together, like it is stuck open or something. Thanks!
