Ok, one of the many problems my car has after starting up the new stroker is a white smoke coming out the back. It doesn't smell like oil, and it doesn't really look blue-ish. What else makes a white smoke when it burns? Thanks.

Could be coolant, Water?

White smoke is coolant burning. Check your oil. If it is milky to sight you probably blew a head gasket. If your temp is normal just get a head gasket kit for around $140.00 and replace the gaskets. It is a not fun job.

Have a machinist check and clean the heads while they're off. Now would be the time to do 1.6 roller rockers if you want.

Good luck

EDIT

If oil is fine and you don't smell coolant, it could be water from condensation burning off. Then you're in luck. None of the above is necessary.

More than likely it is just condensation, my engine did it when I first cranked it up after putting it back together.

So how long did your engine do it after you first got it running?

If it is normal condensation,it should clear up after a minute or two.Try putting your hand in front of the exhaust for aa few seconds.If you have anti-freeze in the system and it is being burnd,you will smell it.Or taste it.
