Wife just flooded the engine on 2007 4.8i. What next?

My wife was on her way to work this morning and went through some deep water. The vehicle shut down and the police brought her home.






After getting it home, I noticed water in the intake so I pulled the plugs. The engine will not turn over even with the transmission in neutral and no plugs in it. I am assuming there is mechanical damage. The water in the intake is mixed with oil, not a good sign.

At this point, I think the insurance totals it, but we will see. I like the vehicle and have recently done a lot of work to it, so it would be nice to fix it.

Anyone ever rebuilt one of these engines? Estimates on cost for complete overhaul?
