    Any recommendations on who can do this work in the SF Bay Area, Calif?
    Car has near-new toyota hybrid battery, new computer, catalytic converter theft shield, around 150K miles.
    (either oil pan was punctured or the engine ran out of oil - thrown rod.)
    Had a deal on a used engine to replace blown gas engine on 2005 Prius then mechanic bailed out.
    Plan is to replace bad engine with a good, used Japanese one and then sell to recoup costs. Or, should it be parted out?

    Welcome to PriusChat!!
    There is a Toyota/ASE trained tech in the east bay, send me a private message or "Start a Conversation" (if this feature works for you).

    Have you already sourced/procured the engine, with or without the transmission?

    Could I sue my mechanic for potentially installing an aftermarket catalytic converter?
