    If I were a frugal man, I would consider a radiator from a focus. Short and wide, and should have plenty of volume for pretty much anything you're looking to do. If I were a rich man I would definitely buy this:

    which I believe is the same one used in this:

        Very fancy, I just like to sit back and imagine all -AN waterlines for a while. No hose clamps at all, anywhere. Who wouldn't want to live in that reality.

          What about the twin core stock automatic radiators?

          Also, I wonder, if you are running an auto radiator in a manual car, would there be any benefit to using the transmission cooler lines to feed engine oil through the radiator.

            The trans cooler in the rad isn't rated for oil pressure.

              Isnt the transmission pressure way higher than the engine oil pressure?

                No, the trans cooler sees fluid AFTER it's been through the trans and before it goes back to the pan, do there's not much pressure to speak of. An oil cooler sees fluid right after the pump and before it hits the engine. There's no way to capture it after it hits the bearing surfaces.
