Default How big a market are we, anyway?

I just bought a couple of heatercores for a '71 Mercury Montego and got to thinking - are there more PC-watercooling folks buying 6x6 heater cores than there are '71 Mercury Montegos on the road?
Maybe we're big enough that we might rate being a heatercore "model" to some company (like transpro or fedco)?
BillA - without giving away any company secrets, have you folks at least thought of this? I'd much prefer to be giving my heater-core money to a company that's going to use at least a tiny bit of it for waterblock R&D.
I'd really like something like a 6x7 straight-through core, tanks on the short side, non diagonal waterflow, so it could go in the lower front of a FS020 or Chieftech with minimal case mods and no problems with air pockets "in the field".
Reducing air resistance to the point that axial fans are no longer an inappropriate solution would be nice, too - which means, hmmm... thinner? un-corrugated cross fins? something else? Nothing that would make it an out-of-the-ordinary heater core as far as the manufacturing process was concerned.
