Iddie, the white smoke indicates water is entering one or more of the cylinders. Check to see if the radiator is losing water. A little bit of water will drip from the tail pipe under normal conditons, since water is a chemical byproduct of combustion. White smoke or large amounts of water/antifreeze coming from the exhaust are not normal. One thing to try is a compression check on each cylinder to look for a blown head gasket. Another test is to see if exhaust gases are entering the cooling system.
The noise could be many things. The fan belt can be removed prior to a short engine run to see if one of the belt-driven accessories is causing the noise.
A listening device made from a section of heater hose will help pinpoint the noise source sometimes. The rocker arm covers can be removed and then the hose can be used to pinpoint noisy valvetrain components.
What has been, can be again. (Bob Wills, 1942)
