Unhappy Cryin' Time?

Greetings all, not one of my best days. My 85 380 se was being driven for the last month as a favor to someone who had car problems. Being nice, they offered to change the oil and filter as it was due. After adding the oil and replacing the filter the key was turned and rattle, rattle, bang!. Timing chain, something blew right thru the drivers side valve cover. Car was shut down immediately but I guess it's too late. This car has new trans, new this, new that, and is in excellent shape for 232 K miles. It runs (did anyway)perfectly and was about to be repainted. What are my options and what is the probable extent of the damage done? Thanks for your input
Rainman (Bill R)
