Smoke on start-up for a long period of time is not normal. The first thing it points to is a bad water seal.

Is it coming out of the exhaust? or from the engine bay?

id' go back to your builder and have a serious conversation about the quality of your rebuild. Do the champagne test and see, but it doesn't sound good at all
