Default radiator choices??

im putting my ls/vtec motor into my hatch and i need to find a radiator... i have called all places around the city and no one has a 99-00 si dohc radiator or delsol dohc rad... is there any other radiator that i could use that would fit in my hatch without modification? i have a 92 civic cx hatch

thanks

A DOHC Vtec DelSol radiator is probably one of the most cost effective rad upgrades and it fits w/o any modifications. It fits in the same location as the original radiator.
Worst case you may have to streach your D series sized radiator hoses over the B series sized radiator necks. No problem though
I think I spent $100-110 on my delsol radiator

i wonder, i have a del sol si radiator. unfortunately its automagic. the only thing is that it has those lines leading to the tranny? on the bottom. if you were to plug those off or just take hosing and loop them back, would that work as well as a del sol vtec radiator? i mean...it is dual core after all... as opposed to that 1 centimeter thick stock single core radiator.
