just because the timing belt broke does not mean the motor is not good. you will most likely have to have a local mechanic check the motor. when a timing belt breaks it can cause the pistons to come up and hit and bend the valves but it dose not always destroy the motor. you will need to do a compression test to see if that is the case or not. if they are bent then you can replace the head/valve train and not the motor.

for best result get a new H22A vtec ..
but in your case thein/outlet valve's and the rocker arms are totally destroyed.. if you can find just the cyclinder head it would save you some cash..if no heads try to get the valves & rocker arm, top gasket set.. if the pistons crack forget all those and get a new motor..
i dont know your place but in my place u can get a motor at a car compound/scrap yard
