White smoke coming from the exhaust when accelerating. I have this issue i just did a motor swap and whenever i accelerate theres a lot of smoke coming out from the exhaust. Its white and smells really weird like spicy or something. Any ideas? V6 4gr engine.

White smoke is usually from the coolant related issues. I would check your coolant level and also talk to the shop that did the engine swap.

We checked it. No loss. Exactly at same level.

It is possible that there was coolant that wound up in the exhaust from a previous failed motor. If so it will eventually go away (hours, not days). I'd do a block test on it to check for combustion gases in the coolant.
