Camshaft locked up 200 80

yeah ouch.

Camshaft locked up on this while coming to a stop at a traffic signal...so furtunately RPM's were pretty low. Anyhow as you would expect it's not running and the timing belt was shreaded. I assume a lack of lubrication caused this. If that is the case where might the problem be most likely to exist. This is the first major engine problem encountered w/ this car. It has 220,000+ miles on it and has rarely leaked any oil. So far I know I need to get a new timing belt and camshaft. Mainly just looking to get an idea of what else might have to be replaced. I don't think any of the cylinders or valves were damaged since it turnsover, w/o any unusual noises, if you try to start it. Would it be cheaper to replace engine?
