Reply to "So, how bad is it going to be?"

Just for kicks and a place to start, I pulled the head. Bad news! The valve punched a hole in the piston, bent a pushrod and chewed up the combustion chamber in the head. I don't know if the head can be fixed, probably not. I'll post some pics next time I dump the camera.
Where can I get a new head(S)? I think I'm just going to replace the damaged piston and leave the others - any advice on this? The piston is labled L2379.030. It is a TRW(Speed Pro), I believe the number indicates that it is cast and not forged. Where can I get one of these?
I'm in the process of disconnecting everything now. With any luck, the engine will come out this weekend or next.
