Angry Overheated, no more coolant seal

So after about a week with my 1990 convertible I took it on a trip to Modesto. The sweltering heat caused my radiator to spring a leak, the engine temp shot up and whadaya know... when I tried to start her up the next morning no dice.

Tried to check the compression and found water in the combustion chamber.

It's my own damn fault.

Looking for a good shop recommendation in the SF bay area and I'd like to know what would be a reasonable quote to replace the coolant seals (rebuild the engine).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a good s5 motor, I'd like to sell for $750. I guarantee it to be good, but its already been pulled from its body, so you won't be able to see it run.
