You might already know this, but black smoke can be burning oil.

generally means you're running rich. any more details?

-i thought oil was more of a bluish color? i guess if there was a lot it could be black...

Yeah it's blue = oil, white = coolant, black = too much gas

Did you do anything with your fuel injectors when you had the motor out?

How about the TPS? Is it plugged in? A misaligned or unplugged TPS or disconnected MAP sensor are the 2 most common things that would cause your problem. Since you put a new motor in maybe you forgot to plug in the coolant temperature sensor or the air temp sensor under the UIM? If you have a PFC with a commander you can quickly tell if the TPS or if the air or coolant sensor aren't plugged in.

does it smoke black when its warmed up?

my car does that when its cold and backfires a tad. Running a little rich is good for the car.
Atleast its not lean, or you'll be in big trouble
