Is it a v8?

So I parked in a sketchy offroad location thinking my car would be safe. I parked fine but when I was pulling out, something hooked onto the shield attached to the front bumper and pulled both side clips off and pretty much tore the entire front bumper off.
The only parts that didn't tear were the screws in the engine bay towards the top of the bumper. At this point, I believe can either get a quicklatch kit and drill the current bumper to connect to the frame of the car or get a new aftermarket gt350 style bumper which I was planning on doing down the line anyways.
My question is, can I get a new bumper and just snap it in as if nothing happened? I'm assuming the screw in the fender liner that everyone complains about was torn out and the bracket might have ripped or something which means a new bumper wouldn't be able to bolt in the way the stock one did but I'm not too sure.
The problem right now is also that the hood cannot open. A guy who was helping me out shut the hood when the black engine liner was removed and now there is no visible latch to release hook that keeps the hood closed.
Thanks.
