There are any number of things that could cause that, all of them catastrophic, none of them cheap or easy to fix. You may have lost the motor.

Tow truck drivers are there to load your disabled car onto the flatbed and deliver it, intact, to the destination of your choice. They are not paid to diagnose, treat or repair your vehicle. It sounds like the car was already good and fucked before he got there, but if neither of you looked under the hood for a shredded belt or under the car for any fluids, then cranking the car like that was kinda foolhardy.

As a replacement I would suggest looking into the 420A motor. It is a direct drop in and easily upgradeable with aftermarket parts for upwards of 300 HP with a turbo kit!!!! W.ooters!
