All you troubleshooters out there, I need help. I finished rebuilding 
and installing my engine this summer, and have put about 2000 miles on 
it. Problem is, it uses about 2 quarts every 1000 miles. The 383 was 
bored 30 over by a reputable machine shop, which installed the Speed Pro 
pistons with moly rings. Blows a small amount of dark smoke on heavy 
acceleration, and a small amount when car is started. Heads were 
completely rebuilt also. First 500 miles I drove alternating speeds as 
suggested. Using Castrol 10w 30; second 1000 miles had a quart of Lucas 
oil for the oil change. Going to check compression, but interested in 
different possibilities.
