Sounds as though the motor was not correctly broken in and the rings were not allowed to seat and now the blow by past the rings is pressurizing the bottom half of motor. Time to tear down hone reassemble and break in properly.
$6000 spent and he couldn't keep his foot out of it till he got it broke in. OUCH!!!

I think you nailed it ,the engine has had this problem for some time now .He replaced it with a 540 hp Merlin cost 8 g's I think he will break this one in correctly.

I'd love to have it but Montana is too darn away from the engine.

Hey Dale, I know someone with a great running 396 for sale here in Washington. I believe it has a recent rebuild and he told me it does not smoke. It was pulled out of the car 15 days ago and swapped for a small block. It is supposed to be built up a little also. I can check into it further if you like.
