depending on how hot you got the motor you might have wrapped or cracked the head or damaged the head gasket.
Need to know what engine and if engine is getting hot, or if it just dies with no apparent overheating. If it's getting hot and stopping and then will not restart or starts with significant engine upon start up you probably have big problems. If it's not overheating and will restart when it sits for a short period and runs for a short time it's probably and crank shaft speed sensor.
It's a small V8 and it starts and cuts off before you can even go into gear.
