    I have a 2014 prius v trim three that has been diagnosed with a blown head gasket by a local toyota dealer. I wanted to keep it and I have tried to find a reman engine and a salvage engine or get it rebuilt by a local engine machine shop but the best salvage yard can't find anything with less than 150,000 miles to 200,000 and reman engine couldn't get a engine for 6-8 weeks local oreillys can't find a reman engine and the engine machine shop is having trouble finding pistons and rings. If I put $4-5 thousand in it I will be commited to keep it and can't afford a good rav4 or cr-v. Is there someone similar to LC engineering that handles prius v parts? Thanks!

    I would get a JDM engine from Tennessee JDM Motors in Memphis.
