The smallest common heater core is the Chevy Chevette which has a 6x6 core, and is about 6x7 with tanks. I assume this is the unit which makes the Big Momma and D-Tek.

Only other choices are units with top mount lines (rather than front facing) or some of the rarer units like a Suzuki Tracker. These have a 5x5 core so probably about 5x6 once done, but I'm not sure if there aluminum or copper.

I think the Black Ice really is constructed from scratch as a look at the junk-yard in there books doesn't show anything looking anywhere near it. I just wish it was thicker (instead of thick tanks, and a thin core which increase velocity of the water, and decrease availably cooling area), and had a shroud that mounted the fan a little further off. But I assume there battling the tranny coolers and not the seroius DIY rads.
