Miracles have happened before.

You could do that anyway. Lets face it, to get this thing running again you'll need to install a new belt&tensioner at the very least. Install them, see if it runs, maybe do a compression test to see if any valves are leaking (= usually bent). If it runs fine then great. If it doesn't all you'll have wasted is the time you spent fitting the belt. Seems like a worthwhile gamble to me.
