    I have a 2011 I bought for cheap and want to put a engine in it but I'm confused in if I can go with a newer engine I don't mind modify stuff but don't want to swap the head or stuff like that I can't find anywhere that has a chart with the Prius compatibility of what year engine you can use in what gen

    Also the engine runs but spun a bearing at 2160000 so not well and not worth repairing

    @Ragingfit put a 2016 engine in a Prius and a V with no engine modifications. He adapted the Prius and the V to use the Gen 4 engine as removed. There are some coolant lines to be relocated and the two coolant sensor harnesses need to be modified.

    I used the Gen 4 block with my Gen 3 head. That way I didn’t have to make those modifications. I felt it easier to put things back generally how Toyota intended.

    2010 to 2015 fit with no interchange issues. 2016 and newer require modifications.
