Default coolant in oil... blown head gasket?

ok heres the scenario:

jdm gsr swap in a 92 eg.
doin burnouts and over revved motor.
motor shuts off.
start car again and it sounds like a v8 with some crazy cams while blowing out very white smoke from the exhaust.
pull off the valve cover and there is a gunky coolant/oil mixture and no coolant in the reservoir.

is motor scrap?
head gasket? water pump? pistons? valves?
what should i check?

please help if you can. im keeping my fingers crossed hoping that it can be fixed. TIA

coolant in the oil sounds like a blown head gasket. as far as damage goes its hard to tell how much has been done. youre just gonna have to rip it apart. take the head off and check it out. since you over-reved you may have done some serious damage up there. with the idle like you said you probably screwed up a valve or 2. but check everything you already stated. it may be time for a rebuild.
