Waterlogged :(

Got caught in some rising water yesterday, and stupidly managed to manoeuver my way into some even deeper rising water. (Lesson: if water's rising, you can't see a clear path out, and you're not yet floating, don't move)
My '99 9-3S stalled out in the deep stuff, (hood went under for a sec there), and I had to shove it up an incline to get it out; thankfully it was only in for a minute or so.
Anyway, it wouldn't start, but the electricals all seem fine; radio, headlights etc. work normally. My seats/hvac are manual. I'm just concerned about the engine.
Mechanic (Texas Automotive Performance, a very good independent Saab-Volvo outfit here in Houston)checked the body plugs and exhaust (so far) and is in the process of drying them. Wisely, he's not even going to try a start until all fluids have been replaced.
No word yet on major damage, but I sense the worst is ahead.
Anyone with similar experience: any input as to what the trouble spots are?
Drippingly,
DWS
