These motors are really tough. I'd have no concerns putting another motor in like vvack suggests - in most cases these cars get taken off the road due to a bad tranny or rust, not the motor, so lots of good motors. Otoh, for the same reasons, it is probably no big deal to repair. I blew a headgasket, and then a few years later burnt a valve, and that same motor is still on the road and doing fine now 6 years later. You've probably blown the hg, but it's probably not terminal...
open it up, check out the carnage, go from there... good luck!
