foxbody white smoke?

could be burning antifreeze. head gasket or intake gasket. i just bought a 91 and it actually had a broken off intake bolt but i didnt figure that out until i tore down the motor. does it have a sweet smell?
 
im not sure i was told poss a bad fuel injector, i the fluid levels were all fine, i put new coolant in it last year, im not a gear head by any means i just wing it, i have swapped a motor in a honda years ago i dont know how it worked but it ended up working. ive done brakes, swapped a caliper , oil, plugs , radiator , water pump. i don't have any schooling i just go on youtube and look online for how to do thing. i kinda want more horsepower the has a few bolt ons chip gear but it isnt a 350+ horse power car like id like it to be. so instead of spending money on fixing it i kinda wanna just try swapping the motor ive been looking on craigslist and what not but i kinda get lost on what to look for.......... im just lost then i think about selling the car because it needs a little body work and paint but ive had it for along time and the thing is 20 years old now so i kinda wanna keep it. hope motownmuscle can help solve a few of my problem
 
Yes agree with above comment check oil for coolant and radiator for oil. pressure test if you have a pump to do so. Has anything been done to it over winter?
 
well today i drove it up to the corner gas station put $12 in it. for the first ten minutes of it running i didnt see any smoke. then on the way home the sputtering started again along with the smoke. backed in garage and now it sits again... i checked oil dip stick looked normal to me.... im at 9 and gratoit if anyone feels like checking her out, i might just sell the car :( starting to become a headache
 
Check the oil fill cap for what will look like a creamy build up. And as stated above, pull the plugs out and check their condition.
 
no creamy build up on oil cap, im gonna just buy some new spark plugs cant hurt , how do i know if it is a head gasket ?
 
i youtubed how to check for a blown head gasket and the guy shows a tool you put on the radiator , any other ways? if not autozone loan them?
