I once had a 1961 ford PU with 292 V8 that smoked like a freight train. Used a quart of oil every 25 miles or so! I had a machine shop overhaul the heads and install new wrist pins in pistons, honed the cylinders and put it all back together with new rings and problemn solved. Never took the block out of the truck. I know new sleeves and pistons would be ideal, but perhaps you can fix it up for the price of head work and rings.

buggsy, Ludwig gave you some good advice, after changing your oil and filter and your still smoking you might try taking a compression check. Your going to want to get close to 100 lbs. And you would like to see all cylinders close to the same reading. As Ludwig stated, you might have a stuck ring, and you could try some Marvel Mystery Oil or something similar.

Have you changed the oil yet? Do you plan to run it in the winter?
Could be some knucklehead put some thin oil in it and its getting past the rings.
If you aren't planning on using it when its cold out you could run a thicker oil like a 15w40 that might smoke a bit less.
Could also be a stuck ring in which case maybe some diesel oil with its better detergent package would get it free.
Could also be valve guides? Let it run for awhile (if you can stand the smoke) and see if it clears up any...
