Usually smoke on start up is oil leaking past worn valve guides and or valve seals. Would a reco head be a feasible option or are the rings and bores shot too? I have no idea where you could source another engine sorry.
@BigRedY61
Do a compression test. If the reading is low, squirt a smidgen of oil onto the cylinder wall. (Not too much or you could hydrolock the piston).
Do another test. If the reading rises significantly, the rings are worn. If not the head gasket, cracked head or valves are the problem.
