I would see it as being quite hard to make something fit that's any larger than a stock dual core. Maybe if you made it a little shorter and an inch or so thicker?
Here are the stock radiator specs. Compare it to other units, you may have to get one custom made; I know Afco does this for a reasonable price.
Radiator Dimensions:
Core Size: 16 1/8" x 25 3/8" x 1 1/4"
Top header: 1 1/2" x 25 5/8"
Bottom header: 1 1/2" x 25 5/8"
Inlet kneck diameter: 1 3/16"
Outlet kneck diameter: 1 3/16"
Rows: 2
Mount type: Bracket/Pin Mount
Distance between transmission oil cooler fittings: 11 3/4"
Construction: Copper/Brass

my rad is out of a 5-speed so it doesnt have the tranny oil cooler fittings on it , sooo it doesnt use some of the core for oil cooling , making it better by any margin???
and if you are having troubles with your car overheating then there may be sopmething wrong with the cooling system . unless you are running high rpms for long periods of time i dont see why you should have an issue.

I've run my car at WOT with 22PSI for over 30 seconds... a new "stock replacement" turbo radiator. I never saw the temp move much more than a couple MM of the needle.

Is this any better than the USDM turbo radiator?
