    Latest picture of my truck. Hope to be on the road by the end of the month. I went with gen 1 because it's what I had. It preforms nicely though.

    Yes. It's just a engine swap. Plan on driving it all the time.

    Looking at the pictures in the other forum, it looks like you put the truck body on the Prius chassis, much like Bill's Firebrid. That's much more than an engine swap!
