In that case, you have a severely blown head gasket and the engine is completely worthless. The cost of repairing the head gasket would exceed the value of the engine and likely the complete car, usually around $1500 with machining.
The white smoke is anti-freeze burning in the combustion chambers and the the black smoke is oil.
