Any good radiator shop should be able to do the job. I would specify
that you get the highest cooling capacity core that they have - ie
largest number of fins and cooling channels. That would increase the
number of square inches of cooling surface. THey just reuse the top and
bottom portions so that's unimportant. When I asked about it a few
years ago, my radiator guy said that they'd just use a heavy duty truck
core of my dimensions. Hope this helps
