You might look into a new aluminum racing radiator. Various companies make them in various sizes, for somewhat reasonable prices. It is unlikely that you could fit another radiator in there without modifying the nose.

However, you might want to think about why you think you need more radiator than stock. If it overheats at idle, in stop-n-go traffic, or at slow speeds then it is air flow, not coolant flow that is the problem. If it overheats at speed then it *could* be coolant flow, or a bad thermostat, but the stock radiator is adequate for even an overbored B20 motor.
