Is a $3000+shipping 2017 Mirai Worth it for a motor swap

CNG is common in my area as are random junked Toyota’s

It appears the hydrogen tank can be replumbed for cng

There are kits to convert various Toyota motors to CNG .

The Lexus HS hybrid motor/transaxle is a drop in replacement

Hmm, possiblities and I’m told the stock transaxle makes for a great BEV sans the tax increase.

I’m always up for something unique.

Too bad the shipping is over $3000

It's probably worth at least that in parts.

Are not the fuel cells full of semi-precious metals?

And some big electric motors...

Last time I checked they were using platinum in the fuel cells and they have maybe an ounce in them.
I bet they're worth more as fuel cells.
