Sorry to hear about that Jimmy!
I had the "white smoke" death in a '67 Corvette I had... motor was original 427/400hp tri-power... and on the way to the NCRS Nationals in Sun Valley - a few of us engaged in some spirited hiway cruising... I was at 6000 rpm for quite awhile in 4th gear.... car ran AWESOME (water injected?) -- it was the next morning when I went to fire it off that the side exhaust billowed white smoke - very embarrassing....
I drove it all the way home from SV to Seattle. Figured I couldn't hurt it any worse than it already was. BTW -- a motor like that is FAR more valuable to the total of the car - than just a motor.... That was some very expensive fun!
