Good morning,

If the belt broke then most likely there is internal engine damage.

It may have just bent valves or it may have also damaged pistons. Only removing the head will tell. That will cost you a lot right there.

I would consider either a rebuilt engine or a good used engine in lieu of repairing it.

Take a look at this site for used engines. I used them a lot with great results.
