88 Ford 7.3 IDI smokes

OK this is a long story so let me start from the beginning. I have a 88 Ford F450 with 7.3 IDI diesel. The motor was leaking AF into one cylinder. We bought a used motor and swapped them out. From the original motor we took the injection pump and the pusher pump plus the fuel filter housing and lines. We have replaced the return lines from injector to injector as well as to the tank. The truck smokes when you step on it and seems to use an extra amount of fuel. We left the original injectos in, but replaced all the O-Rings and made sure the lines where tight. It does not seem to use any oil and the smoke smells like diesel fuel not AF or oil. We are looking at new injectors and a injector line rebuild kit to replace everything. Does anyone else have some suggestions.
