Timing issues

I have recently bought a 1991 Toyota truck with a 3.0 V6. The previous owner had put a new motor in it and it runs great.

************HERE IS THE PROBLEM*****************************

I went to get it smogged and it passed emissions fine but the timing is way off, I was told 77 degrees. I have the timing belt cover off and can see the all the timing marks except the crankshaft one. When the cam marks are alligned (TDC) the timing mark is about 2.5 inches off and the rotor is not pointing at #1. no matter how many times I turn over the motor, none of the marks are where they should be. Was the belt installed wrong? How can it run as well as it does if it's wrong?
Thanks, Scott
