OK, when the crank pulley went, the water pump stopped pumping, and the engine overheated. If the car was driven until it stopped, rather than at first sign of temperature climb, ther is a chance that the headgasket blew and the head warped. The block may have cracked, but unlikely.
The crank pulley fix is doable, search on harmonic balancer. There are numerous posts on R/R. While that fix is under $200 diy, the headgasket fix is about %300(including head planing)diy or about $1000 in an indy shop. btdt
I would give car to wife and have her new beau deal with it.
