Will idle, but cuts off when revved and shoots white smoke

I am going to go check out an 1987 rx7 fc with a 13b and automatic transmission this weekend. The owner says the engine on the FC can idle but cuts off whenever he tries to rev or accelerate it. He said there is also white smoke. After doing research, a lot of people on these forums said that the white smoke is usually caused by a blown coolant seal, but I didn’t see anybody say that the engine would cut off when the gas is applied. I am willing to replace the apex or coolant seals, but I might have to pass on the FC if there are many more problems than that. Does anybody have a suggestion what might be wrong this engine?
