The Silver Sweetness Blew her head gasket,and is probably too expensive to justify fixing... Anybody have any suggestions, Jasper engine maybe. Ford wants 4500 ish for a new motor... I will part her out if anybody wants anything.
In my pissed off haste to diagnose the problem i didn't actually check to see if the white smoke was coming from the tail pipe. It was coming from the water pump i think. no white smoke out the tail, and one helluva noise like a bearing rattle so I re-diagnose the problem as a water pump failure. anybody know the price to have one installed. Because the trans ain't the greatest either, so i don't know how much money I should put in her.

Water pump will be a couple hour job, but if you take your time you should be able to do it with no problems.
