Sorry to hear about this.
How many miles were on it when this happened?
There is a lot of help on this board forn this subject (unfortunately, in this case, this would be equivalent to closing the barn door after the horses ran out). It isn't a difficult job but you really need the shop manual and having the right tools helps (although the job is not impossible with improvised tools).
It's very likely that you bent some valves. That it happened at speed (and not at start-up) might make even more serious problems (broken cam, damaged pistons) possible. If your car is really nice, I'd get a donor engine, fix that up with new timing chain and associated parts, and put it in.
