My 95 SR is pushing 200k and just snapped the crank pully bolt, which is patched up but the crank is probably shot. Since they only built the DOHC for a few years they are hard to find. I was wondering if the newer 3.5 would bolt in or is it completely different?

Wiring Harness, ECU and probably a few other things will have to be swapped. Best to buy a totaled doner vehicle with a good engine & possibly tranny to swap.

I believe the cranks are the same between the SOHC and DOHC... I would just rebuild your DOHC with a new crank at most. If you replace the timing belt on time your fine with the current setup.

No don't do it!!!! (unless you want to trade me motors)

Thanks for all the input, my local engine rebuilder wants $3000 to rebuild my motor without replacing the crank. I just passed up a 88k motor on ebay for @1400, now the only one there is like $2500. I'm finding SOHC for around $500. I love my Montero but I can't see putting thousands into a 15 year old truck with 200k. Theres one at the Pick n Pull with 160k that has an abondoned vehicle sticker on the windshield with the complete motor I'm tempted to grab but thats a gamble. As long as my crank pully bolt holds my motor runs great, I was just wondering if the SOHC was a bolt in.

Can you pull the block and reinstall yourself? You'd save tons on the $3k that way.

The $3000 was with me pulling the motor.

That sounds pretty high to me. I'd wait and see what others who have done it say about a reasonable cost. Maybe you need to take it to someone else...?

3.5 DOHC reman when I last check is 3500 w/o core.

Wow, shows what I know... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />
