Default 3.5L timming belt problems

My EX GF's 3.5 liter snapped a timing belt. (1996 Concorde 3.5L)

It broke down in Canada and I'm in the US and have no way to work on it. It sat at a garage where they tried to replace the PCM with 2 used ones insisting on that was the problem. Well now it's at a Chrysler dealer and they want a crap load of $$$ to replace the timing belt...

My concern is if it's possible while trying to start a 3.5 liter with the cam out of sync, can valve train damage can occur?

Is there sufficient valve to piston clearance where this will not be a problem?

The 3.5L in the 96 concorde is a valve safe engine. What is a crap load of $$$? It is only about 3.0hrs labour + the cost of a belt. That seems rerasonable to me.

Crap load of $$$ = $810.00 Canadian...

I wish I could have done it myself...
