This happened to me at 125K on my 1991 9000 about seven years ago. The car had 6 bent valves as a result of a snapped timing chain. The timing chain was the spit roller type which was apparently prone to failure. I was able to tow my car home, but it took me a month and about $800 parts to fix it. The parts included the valves, a balance shaft kit (all the gears, guides, chain and chain tensioner), a timing chain kit (similar to the balance shaft kit), the valves, head gasket kit, and miscellaneous odds and ends.
You could possibly find a used engine, but the block changed in 1994, so any engine you find will be at least 16 years old and have more miles than your current engine.
I'm afraid you'll be parting this one out.
