Instead of going custom and having issues getting it repaired later, can you use a 2nd gen Dodge radiator? I cut out the center of the chevy radiator supports and add the 2nd gen dodge rad and intercooler when I do my swaps now. Easier to get parts on the side of the road if anything ever happens and that radiator does a good job cooling. Here is a link with some measurements for them.
