The light smoke after startup is prolly due to bad valve seals, and that sounds likely for the amout of miles that are on the motor, hopefully its just the #7 leaking bad. Otherwise It could be that the rings are shot on the #7 and that is why it fouls out after 4 months. I would find out how much oil it burns, and do a compression check before you get yourself into a mess.
#4
It doesn't consume much oil at all. About the normal for a high mile 3rd gen. How long does a 3rd gen rear last before it fails. He hasn't had any problems with the rear. What would I need to do a lt1 swap, would the tranny be able to hold up.
