3S-FE stroker?

[turbo MKI]

I am trying to find out any info on building a 3S-FE from a 4.1 RAV using the 2.2 5S-FE internals. I've searched around this and other forums trying to see if its a simple as using the 5S rotating assembly but no luck; just people talking about using the JUN and HK$ stroker kits for the 3S-GTE.

Few questions; is there a difference in block heights between the 3S-FE and 5S-FE?
Are there differences between the 5S-FE shortblocks over the years?
If what I'm trying to do is possible, is there a certain combination that I need or will any 5S rotating assembly work?
Thanx for any input

Why don't you just get a 5sfe block?

But any 5sfe rotating assembly will work.

the awd 3S-FE block is different from what I understand - mounting holes for the transfer case or something like that.

So using any year 5S from either a camry or celica will work? Great info, thanx.
Is the wrist pin location the same on both the 3S and 5S pistons?

Believe so... can't say that one for sure though....

If you're going to use a 5sfe crank, why don't you get some 5sfe rods and pistons while you're at it? You know that'll all fit together.

I DO know that it's the same for 3sgte and 5sfe, though.

I am not 100% myself having not messed w/ the FWD/AWD stuff too much - my experience is w/ the supras and such; I'm just trying to see if the S series is similar to what can be done w/ the M series (for example).
If what I want to do can be done - thats what I'd be doing; using the whole rotating assembly - crank, rods and pistons. Just didnt know if there was a difference between the 5S that would matter - seems like there are a few between the years.
Also, didnt know if the block heights or the wrist pin location were different between the 3S or 5S?

You can use the whole rotating assembly. It'll work just fine.
