hey guys I just rebuilt my 98 5.4 1st gen It was a total rebuild. I put the motor back in and after hooking everything up the engine runs smooth like a new one but for some reason the rear heater hoses blew and when you rev the car over 2 grand it blows a big cloud of white smoke and dies.
whats going on with this???????/

Could it be that the cats are all clogged and stuff???? I am no expert but a new engine was put in I would not be surprised if you were dumping gas into the cats and they are toast.

Well white smoke is usually coolant dumping into the cylinders. The fact that it stalls out says that a lot is getting in. Did you reuse any of the seals...?
