head gasket failure or possibly IP?

ive got an 87 6.9 thats sick and has been for a few weeks now. i know this isnt the 6.9 forum but it seems like theres more of you guys on here all the time. but anyways it starts fine in the mornings provided its plugged up cuz i have a problem with gp's too, but when im going down the road and have a mild load on the engine it misses really bad and blows blue/ white smoke out of the drivers side stack. theres more though, every since i got the truck it will out of the blue start missing while im going down the road until i mash on the pedal for a sec and occaionally blows blue smoke out of the passenger side stack but has no noticeable affect on power. my main problem on the other hand is a dead miss and of course huge drop in power. it uses alot of oil but always has. the motor doesnt have terrible amount of miles on it (about 170) and it just runs too damn good. it doesnt sound worn out and the timing is advanced but its getting PLENTY of fuel. she been cranked up quite a bit on the pump which i thought could the culprit of the failure. sorry this is so long you guys but i need help BAD and any would be greatly appreciated.
