help white smoke everywhere

ok the car was flooded and then i had electical (spark problems) now i just started it and there is tons of white smoke pouring out the exhaust and tons more of it coming out of the engine bay... does this mean i blew the engine?!?!?!? im about to have a stroke if i did... why is there so much white smoke.. its so thick i couldnt even see my neighbors house thru it... the car cranks find with a slight touch of the gas but will only stay running (smooth at least) with some footwork.. get off the gas and it dies... what is the problem?!?!?! any suggestions

like this?

This is normal when you flood the engine and get it started.

That pict is me starting the engine after 6 months. The ATF andMMO oils that I used to build compression burns off white. Its normal,let it idle for 15-20 minutes with some revving every once and awhile, this should clear it up. Make sure to add coolant first, just incase you are burning it off...
