^What he said... no telling how many valves got bent / ruined without going in and taking a look. However, its almost a definite that some are bent and there may be further damage to the engine internals (i.e. pistons, springs, etc.). It might not be that bad, you just gotta see.

Of course, as mentioned above... it's up to you whether or not you choose to re-build this motor, swap in a new(er) / different one or just get a completely different car.

Best of luck... L8R,
