Hi Everyone,
This is my first time on the site so bare with me.
My daughter's '95 Rav4 engine failed (hole in block) and I am in the process of sourcing a replacement.
But after alot of google research I have found that all 3S-FE engines are not the same. The Rav 4 engine block is slightly different with an extra bracket?
So this exercise is starting to get expensive as I may have to source a Rav specific 3S-FE engine. I don't want to scrap the car but if it's going to be too expensive I may not have a choice.
Has anyone replaced this motor in a Rav4? If so can I just use a standard popular 3S-FE motor (not Rav4)?
I can source a good 5S-FE motor out of a Camry cheap!
Thanks guys.

Has anyone replaced one of these engines. I need to know if I can just buy any 3s-fe or does it have to be a rav4 engine.
Importers have told me that the Rav4 version has an extra piece on the block for an extra bracket.
A Rav4 specific motor is hard to find and expensive. So a generic 3s-fe motor would be dirt cheap.
Thanks
