I've got a Ford Racing 302 crate motor in my 1966 Mustang. It's been sitting for about 3 years. I realize now it was a stupid thing to do but I charged the battery and jumped in it for about a 50 mile drive. It began to blow significant white smoke out of the driver side exhaust. Thinking this was likely a blown head gasket I started to tear it down this evening. I haven't removed the plugs yet but wonder if what is showing in these pictures might be only a blown intake gasket. there is a significant amount of white goo on the underside of the intake manifold but there was very little under the valve covers.
Ideally I would like to install new intake gaskets and leave the head gaskets alone.
I would appreciate any thoughts.
