One of the members of this BB, Aerogant, lost the lower end of his Aero, a 96 if I recall. I'm thinking the repair was somewhere around $2k. You can do a search on Aerogant and read the gory details.
Nice B234s on the used market are somewhere around $1500.
The motor is coming out either way.
You didn't say if yours is an automatic or a stick, but if it's an automatic the radiator may have failed, allowing transmission fluid to mix with the oil. If it's an automatic I'd put a new radiator in unless I was sure the old one isn't plugged or leaking internally.
If it were mine, I'd swap the motor out for a good used one and then disassemble the blown motor at my leisure and decide what to do with it.
