Finally started her up BUT.............

hey guys i've let my camaro sit for about 5 months. Just got all the hoses and wires hooked up after installing headers and valve cover gaskets etc. Blue smoke pours out of the exhaust and the motor starts to smoke(might be the header paint). But it looks like a general smoke....(if that makes sense) My whole garage smells like gasoline. I pulled a couple plugs and noticed a good coat of thin oil/gas....the plugs CERTAINLY smelled like gas... Is this normal for cars that have been sitting for awhile... and with new headers??? its also winter here in buffalo soo its pretty cold.
I also did not have the pcv hose hooked up ...there was a lot of blow-by...

thanx
