Default anti freeze in the block

I have a 302 boss and I just changed the intake manifold gaskets. I'm afraid some antifreexe got inside the block. I changed my oil and filter before trying to fire it up. When I started it huge clouds of white smoke kept cooming out of the pipes. Is it possible all the antifreeze did not get out or should I be looking at something else. If there is still antifreeze in the block what do I need to do to get rid of it?

after I changed the oil and started it up, I ran it for about 5 minutes with huge white clouds pouring out. I shut it off and started it up again about thirty minutes later and got the same thing.

Default Problem should be solved

I just did a Ford F-series truck that had the same problem, there may still be anti-freeze in the oil pan. You need to just flush oil into it and then drain it again, or just take the pan off and make sure it is clear, then refill it to specs and see if it does not go away after a couple minutes of running. If not, or there is still an ungodly amount of anti-freeze in the motor, either the gasket you installed is no good, or there may be a bigger issue present.
