BBC 454 Monte Hauler

Guys and Gals i need some help,

 

I just bought a truck to haul the Monte with once she is finished, 1979 Chevy C-30 with 454 mated to a th400.

 

I figured you all could help answer a few questions.

 

1.) is whiteish smoke out of the tail pipes a sign of a lean condition ? i think the #1 is fouled

 

2.) what size carb do you guys recommend for a 454 ? the guy i bought it from put a eddy1406 on it. which is only 600cfm

and it seems to surge at low speed(around 20 mph).

No signs of it being a water issue. i changed the plugs cap and rotor a week ago and no smoke after that and yes if i drive for about 10 minutes or so there will be no more smoke out the pipes. i figured the timing was of and the small carb wasnt helping the situation either

needs bigger carb before tune up so he can tune the carb to the motor. the white smoke sounds like a head gasket is seeping at worm conditions. after it sets take out the plugs more than likely find a plug wet
