Anyway, on to the question.

The dealer said it spits out some white-ish smoke when the gas pedal is pressed. I'm guessing it is the head gasket or one of the valves. The smoke does not appear when it idles, however.
This is all of the information I have. Any idea what the problem MAY be, or how much it might cost (or how much work I may have to put into it) to fix?
I don't want to drop a b-series engine into it, but I'm not opposed to getting someone else's old HF engine and swapping it out if that could fix my problems.
Anyone have a HF engine (maybe from a 86 or 87) that they want to give away?
Would swapping with another engine be that big of a challenge? What about rebuilding the engine? I have no past engine experience but am very mechanically inclined.
If swapping is a bad idea, how much work can I get myself into replacing the head gasket and perhaps the valve covers?
