Has it ever overheated? Your block and bottom end should be fine, unless there's been coolant in the oil (check your dipstick!) which could ruin your bearings if it's been in there awhile.
If you like the car, best bet would be to get someone to pull the head and start from there.
Absolute worst case, assuming your bottom end is trashed (very unlikely) you could get a used engine dropped in.
Or buy another 900 :)
Good luck!
Jonathan
