the thing to do is go to a radiator repair shop & have a look at their catalogue. the nova is limited by height & the need to get cold air in thru the front, so the gte rad is probably as big as you can go.

Why would you want to?

Yes most people upgrade to a GTE/GSi one when fitting a 2.0l 16v.

Its much easier with hoses etc and replacing when things go wrong.
