If you ran it for any length of time you probably burnt the motor up. Especially if it was a high mileage motor. The flames shooting out of a cracked exhaust shows a high amount of unspent fuel in the exhaust mix. Could be from timing being way off or one or more valves burnt up or dropped. A mechanic would have to to inspect motor for damage, you should expect some bad news.
