Where can you find a V6 radiator cheaper that a 4cyl?
I've been toying with the idea of putting a v6 in my 4 cyl and it seems that the v6's are always more expensive.

Ya buddy quoted me $360 + tax for the 4cly 2.4L radiator, and the V6 rad is $260.

He's say's he's put them in the 4cyl yota's many times... and it's a dedicated raditor shop. Just wanted to see what peeps thought on here about it.

Thats outrageous. I hope thats for the rad + labor, but even then thats crazy. I got quoted for $165 at my dealership plus shipping (which is a lot to Alaska) last winter when the rad went out in my truck. He refered me to NAPA actually because they had them in stock. $150. took me no more than an hours work to put in myself.
Edit: Oh, you're in Canada. Prices are different. So maybe thats not as absurd as I thought
