rebuild engine?

i have a 92 dodge stealth N/A i just put a body kit and CF hood on. When it wasfinally completed....i started it up and it idled for about 2 mins then clunked and stalled...come to find out the timing belt jumped and bent several valves...im looking into 3 options:
Option 1- rebuild the cylinder heads and take the chance with the block and pistons etc.
Option 2- brand new crate engine from mitsu.
Option 3- have the engine completely rebuilt.

Im unsure what to do with it. What would you guys do, any ideas would be great

Money is the thing im concerned with....
to rebuild im lookin at like 5500-6000 new engine im lookin at like 6000-7000 and to redo the heads its like 2500.
Is what im looking at is how much could i sell the car for with new heads full body kit cf hood and new paint job (custom color).
Im just unsure of what would be the best bet and will allow me to make the most money off the resale when i am ready to get rid of it.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
