1. It is a FLAT HEAD engine. Which means OIL smoking is due to rings.
2. Rings: smoking because of worn or broken rings OR POSSIBLE RINGS INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN. No, not just the oil ring upside down but compression rings upside down will yield GOOD compression but HEAVY oil smoke.
3. INSPECT the rings!!!
4. Possible the TOP ring is chrome. Do not use chrome rings. Use CI rings.
