Hi Dan! Welcome to the F150-Forums. If the smoke coming from the exhaust pipe is white, then you probably have a blown head gasket and check the oil for glycol/water. If the smoke is blue or blackish do a compression test, which would indicated worn or damaged rings and or valves.

Nice work. Could not find pics of it on your fb page. Could you directly post them here? Thanks!
