First of all I'm a newbie to this forum, but not cars/racing/offroading,
I've owned this 1995 SR for just a little over a year now,
I've done a Baja trip on it, replaced a ton of crap, made it my own.
Now its time to replace the motor due to bad valves after a timing belt failure and the compression on the other side isn't so great,
These are the two routes I'm taking with this, depending on what information I get:
1. Sorento longblock. Swap over electronics ONLY. This is the easiest route, just making it run.
2. 3.8 Shortblock with Sorento(read newer)DOHC heads. Stroker route, more power/torque. But this depends on one thing really, are the 6G75 blocks the same height? I don't want to mess with any custom timing belts.
Any advice on this?
