My brother-in-law drove his '95 850T into 2 feet of water a few yrs ago.
Water into the intake froze the pistons in the cylinders. It's like pouring sand in there. You may not think this is a lot of water, but the car pushes up a wall of water and 2 ft turns into 3 ft high when you go through it, thus right into the engine. Also had a friend with a '94 F150 do this in 2 ft of water.
New engine needed.
Look at the dipstick and see if there's oil in the crank. In my Bro's case his ins got him a 30k mile T5R engine to go in there. Turbo and everything else was OK.
