Angry coolant loss

OK it's the biggy--Son drove the car just a few minutes in the road by my house to break in the new brakes he's just installed and when he got back to the garage
there was steam from under the engine and no coolant in sight in coolant tank.

Question is how much damage might have been done to engine? Any hope things can be salvaged?

Smile coolant loss

Running like a champ!!
Looks like coolant leak was caused by a sensor in the rear coolant crossover tube that was twisted 90 degrees
accidentally when they replaced the supercharger gaskets. A wire was attached and they pulled on it getting
the charger out. It finally gave way as I said luckily right out in front of the house so it did no damage and is now running fine.
Happy days are here again!!

Oh good. NEVER drive that thing if it's getting hot or leaking coolant.
