Help!! Fried engine

I loaned my 97 9K to my son. the car apparently leaked coolant and overheated badly. He said the temp gauge "never quite got to the red zone" so he kept driving it. It took 6qts of coolant. There is smoke (apparently vaporizing coolant) coming from the front of the engine, the tail pipe is smoking (apparently coolant vaporizing in the cylinders).
I assume a warped head or worse though I am not sure what that would be. My question is about anyone having any idea of expense to repair and repair options. I have it in to my local Saab indie and will see in several days.
? resurface head and block?
? any rebuilt engines available?
? Other alternative?
The car is cosmetically perfect and I would hate to junk it.
Any experienced comments appreciated.
