where to get a good radiator?

i am in the process of swapping a 406 into my car, and am going to need a bigger radiator i am sure. the be cool's radiator is like 500 bucks in jegs
is there any cheaper alternatives? maybe griffin or something? also, a long time ago someone gave the part number of a modine radiator, 2311 or 2811 i think. is that a stock size radiator, or is it thicker? thanks for any help.

the stocker should be fine unless the engine is heavily built, otherwise your going to have to shell out for the be cool or get a really good fan

Get the Griffin universal 31"x 19" - however you'll have to run an auto tranny cooler (if you have an auto) because it doesn't have an internal one. It's cheaper than the "direct replacement" by quite a few rubles.
