Where is a good place to have a custom aluminum radiator made, that won't cost my first born child?

What engine/hp and/or what size? There are a couple off the shelf options.

You can try AFCO. I used the ASA racing radiator with cap delete, for my LS1.

I have the Renegade radiator in my 518 hp LS3 build. I ended up not using much of their "cooling kit" so I wouldn't suggest buying that. But maybe give them a call and get a quote on just a radiator?
Worst thing is it's $$$ or they won't sell just the rad, but couldn't hurt to ask.

I had two of their radiators leak back when I had the WRX engine in it.

I still have the framework that houses their fans, and was just wanting someone to make one to fit it, and the trunk.

I'm running an aluminum Celica GTS radiator and factory fan shroud. Fits perfectly between the headlights and under the hood. I can hardly get the engine above 160°. I think I'm $300 into it from eBay. Prices have gone up a little.
