Hi,
Have you looked for a S/hand engine from a wrecker / dismantler / salvage yard? (and ask your import mechanic to fit it for you).
In my view that is a better alternative than repairing your engine, as it would limit the risk of paying for labor just to find out that it is scrap.
Not sure which engine is in yours. Petrol?
I am currently playing with a Ford / LandRover TDV6 2.7 engine that had snapped timing belt. It doesn't have a fancy 'Valvetronic' system, and only has some simple problems to get it going again. But when the pistons hits the valves something have to give. In my engine that appears to be only some broken valve lifter arms and some stretched bolts on the cam bearing caps, and one bent camshaft. On other engines it could be bent valves, damaged valve seats, damaged pistons, damaged connecting rods. You don't really know until it is dismantled.
Cheers,
