white smoke is usually coolant... have a sample of you coolant checked for exhaust gases at a radiator shop... if yes, you need a rebuild... if no, then you can start looking for other things.

I think you can do nearly as well price wise by getting a rebuilt-exchange engine from Rotary Resurrection. It's only slightly more than the parts, and you get it done by a pro.
If you do it yourself, do not forget to send the end and center irons out to be lapped.
