Why do you need an "oversized" radiator? What are you doing that you need increased cooling capacity?

You can probably get a radiator with more rows (will take the same amount of space under the hood, tho.) Probably Summit Racing would have something. If you are willing to go with something more stock, try EBay, Rockauto, and the local auto parts chains.

I recently replace my (96) two row radiator with a new two row one. Amazing how much lighter the new one was. And instead of using the trans cooler in the radiator, I put in an external one that sits in front of the A/C condensor coil & new radiator.

I never liked the rad that was in my Dak in the first 6 years I blew out two rads the plastic tops blew open on me the one I have now has lasted me 10 years so I'm wondering when it will blow out.
