I put on a new intake and now the motor is blowing smoke mostly white with some blue.
But the smoke just pours out the tail pipes.. maybe i have a vacuum hose connected wrong.
I have never seen a car do this. I drove it to a little store a mile a way and I could not see behind me for the
smoke I thought the motor was on fire !

I wouldnt start the car back up until you do.
Here is what my intake gasket looked like when I pulled the intake.



Check your oil for water

Sure does sound like water is entering one of your cylinders. Check your spark plugs. If water is entering one cylinder then that plug will be steamed cleaned bright white.

He installed one of our intakes and if he pulled the lower intake too I think he simply got water in his oil. Also agree, dont run it. Didnt get a respose from you yet. Did you look at your oil?

I found no water in the oil.
Any other suggestions...I am not talking about a little smoke
it bellows out. Now that I have had a chance to see the smoke in the day light.
It does have a light blue tint to it.

Is your level right and too high? pull your plugs out and see if one has more oil on it then the others. when you did run it, did idle right or very rough? I'm hoping you did not drop anything into the engine when you had the intake off, if one plug does come out very oily it may indecate such.

Everything makes me believe an intake gasket failed.
I am going to pull it back off.

If you installed as unit like below, it could just be the gasket. Did you take a quick look at your plugs?
