ok swamprat here is a few sugestions,if the smoke is blue its most likely oil, if it got real hot you could have taken some of the sealing force from the rings or if the smoke is worse when its cold and you have positive type valve seals they could be bad, if its white then most likely head or head gasket. take a little sniff of the smoke, antifreeze will be real sweet where oil won't. hope this helps!

Is the cab and front clip on a 2000 F350 longer or shorter than a cab and front clip on a 1986 F350 and by how much? Not a wheelbase issue.
