It depends on where everything happened to be when the timing belt broke. You might get lucky and be able to stick a timing belt on there and it might fire right up, or you might have bent some valves. My advice, get a timing belt and put it on. see how that goes, then if you have bent valves i'd either haul the engine out if its SOHC and drop in a low mileage JDM version, or if its a DOHC i'd consider taking the head off and investigating further.

Re: Timing Belt broken (dohczccrx)
My cousin was driving once and his timing belt snapped. He was lucky the belt broke when the valves were in a closed position or else the pistons would have upercut the valves. Best way to know is to take off the head. You can put on a new belt and see if it runs but you may or may not hear any noises, and may seem fine but you may have slightly bent valves. If you don't mind doing the timing belt twice then that's up to you. Good luck
