why put swap a 200 hp motor for another 200hp with less torque? besides the mounts for V6s and I4s are different making it not any easy thing to do.

the stock radiator is fine.

ah!

I doubt a radiator from a 4 cylinder car is going to work for your V6. If you compare I4 and V6 engine bays, everything is flipped 180 degrees, so a lot of the parts are very different!

6th gen I4 Auto radiator:



6th gen V6 Auto radiator:



notice how the connections are in different positions between the V6 and I4?

I would just make sure to put a 2 row radiator instead of the single row. I have seen them called racing radiators, but you don't have to have a racecar to use them. I also wouldn't worry about name brands. The ones I have seen are identical to the less expensive no-names.

koyo works for me.. if you're going to get fluidyne,don't, get koyo for cheaper plus it's thicker..
