Default Broken Crankshaft

I'm 19 and i'm an absolute mustang fan. I've owned 3 already. The one i own now is a 95 5.0. Comp cam, bbk shorty headers, basani x-pipe, BBK throttle body, msd 6al ignition and msd distributor, c&l turndown intake, flowmasters, and a cobra R cowl hood. Not much, but it's plenty for me. I started college a year ago and before i went to college, mu uncle painted it for me. The only problem is, the crankshaft broke! The timing chain and cover broke also. I can grab the harmonic balancer pulley and wiggle the crankshaft. I'm going crazy without my mustang, i have to drive a honda now. I'm not sure of the extent of the damage, but i'd like to get it fixed. Anyone have any suggestions?

see if the cam and distributor are good...if they are keep them or sell them....then buy a crate engine and flop it right in there.
