3.4L Timing Belt Issues

i have 3.4L that i am swaping into a 89 x cab. The issue is i got it from a Wrecking yard it was hit in the front end and broke the tensioner, so the wrecking yard cut the timing belt. they also turned the engine over and camshafts.

So i have No idea where the camshafts should be i set them to the timing marks but there is a possiblity of having the right bank 360degrees off from the Left bank so that the timing would be completly screwed any ideas on how to solve this???

Okay so i feel like a complete idiot now. After i read those 2 links i realized something it is imposible for the cams to be out of alignment by 360 degrees because they rotate at half the speed of the crank so for every 2 revolutions of the crank they rotate once so they could be 180 degrees out but not 360. and if they were 180 out you would know because the timing marks wouldnt line up. they would be 180 degrees off on the cams only. so if you line up the timing marks your all good
