So I'm pulled to the side of the road because of white smoke bellowing out my exhaust. Should be an easy guess.

Most likely. I just got it home and I'll tear into it this weekend.

Guess I need to figure out what head gasket to go with.

I remember when mine was like that... was also leaking onto the exhaust manifold, too -- so when I stopped at a light smoke poured out from under my hood -- a fact I learned as I was easing into a stop next to an SUV full of girls who were eying and waving at me. :-X At least you found out when you were alone!

But yes, definitely sounds like a head gasket going bad.
