Mine is a 24x12x3 that should be sufficient for what you have. I picked mine up on ebay for 160 or so.

Ok that first number 24" is overall lenght or the core lenght, the total space I have is 26" overall so I guess the core lenght has to be about 20". You remember the brand of the one you have so that I can look for it on ebay..thanks Because there are like 2,500 on ebay..

I just took two TII intercoolers, cut an end tank off each one, and welded the cores together, cost me $20. I'm thinking about adding a third, there's still some more room

Only problem is the TII IC has 2" inlet and outlet, you'd have to modify the end tanks too for 3", or there's other cheap stock IC's out there with bigger end tanks.
