Swapping in a Gen 4 Prius' 2ZR Engine into the Prius v

Too late I guess. I already paid for the Gen 4 engine from a local JDM place. Should be delivered later tonight. The engine looks to be in good condition, no leaks that I could see, low miles, no cross threaded drain plug. Plus it's coming in at a little over $1800 with delivery included. To get a similar build from Hybrid Pit would be over $2600 plus whatever the delivery fee is and however long the lead time is. I'm hoping to have mine up and running by this weekend because it's really tough being a 1-car house.

I did think about replacing the head gasket but reviewing the videos and such, this should be faster and "easier". I'm willing to take a chance. If I still have issues, I can always attempt to change the HG on the old engine.

 

You do have to use a lot of your gen3 engine on the gen4 to make it fit including the egr system. Plus some wiring and cooling system changes.
