It's possible, but if you turned the engine off/put the tranny in neutral immediatly, you should be ok. Replace the belt and turn the engine over a couple of times (avoid starting, if possible) with a friend standing over/near the engine. If they don't hear and wierd noises (odd ticks or clicks), start her up. Listen carefully, if you don't hear anything out of the ordinary - you should be good to go.

Although the 93 Dodge Stealth basic engine mechanicals are the same as one for a Montero, you would probably have to use different engine mounts and there may be a problem with how the engine mounts to the transmission. Then theres the possible problem of the engine computer for the Montero not working with the donor engine and the wiring harnesses not having the same plugs as the Stealth.

Is Chevy's 350 cubic inch engine freewheeling?
As I understand it, a freewheeling engine, such as the 2.3 liter Ford is an overhead cam engine that will not crash the valves if the timing belt breaks. A 350 Chevy uses a timing chain since the cam is in the block. If the timing chain breaks on that, you're out of luck.
