car issue

ok GF's 98 neon blew the timing belt and maybe the water pump..i read on line that these are interfence motors which means it more than likely bent the valves... one garage I talked to said about 1000 to fix it if it was the timing belt...

So would it be cheaper to swap engines? or try and fix this myself( swap out head and replace water pump)? of course never done it or have the ablity to do the engine swap?

when i took the cover off the right fender well I found the timing belt rapped up behind the harmonic balancer wheel and some plastic peices fell out...
engine only has 88k on it.
