    A question on jdm engines. All ad's I see do not give a specific year.

    Yet for reliability, that is crucial info.can I spec 2015?

    I'm in Fort Worth and am in desperate need of an engine swap on my 2012 prius III. When I saw you're in Dallas my heart jumped. Would you mind telling me who your mechanic was and where you sourced the engine? Thank you so much!

    (Sorry if double posting) Could you tell me who your mechanic was and where you sourced your engine? I'm in desperate need of a swap for the exact same issue on my 2012 prius III out in Fort Worth. Thank you so much.

    Thanks so much for all this info! Recently discovered a seized engine in 2012 V and JDM engine certainly seems the way to go.

    Did you replace with a JDM or not at all?
