I have a 96 v6 and the radiator is leaking. I found a radiator from a 93 and the radiators look almost identical except for the bottom hole being on opposite side and the fan mounts. i also found a hose long enough with the right bends, and found a way to mount the fans. Anybody know if this will work out? i have the 1mzfe engine and this one is coming out of a 3vzfe.

i was thinking that i just liked this one because it was all metal instead of having the plastic top.

that radiator will not fit... i go aftermarket, if u can afford ..but if u want to look at junkyard radiator..look for 95 model with V6.. 95 will fit your car but not 93 model. hope this help.. if u do buy aftermarket, go w/ lifetime warranty. if something wrong, you bring old radiator back and get a new radiator w/o charge. remember, kept your received
