aftermarket aluminum radiator fitment

My radiator in my '91 SR5 (4afe) is all corroded so I want to get a new one. I'm buying an aluminum catch can since mine is also broken so I figure I should get an aluminum radiator to match, I'm prepared to spend around $100 on one. I'm also planning on doing a 4age swap since I have a GTS parts car laying around.
I was looking around on Ebay and didn't find any that looked like they would fit nicely, is there a radiator that people generally use? Will a 4agze radiator fit? I've seen people use one from a civic but it looks too small, would that cause overheating issues? Anyone ever use a Supra radiator?
Any suggestions or fitment pics would be appreciated.

the size of the radiator isn't the first thing you should be concerned with. The honda radiators being used are from cars with the same engine displacement as the 4AFE and 4AGE, 1.6 lts.
Here is a link from club4ag, it talks about using honda radiator in an AE86, which uses the same engine.

There are a bunch of people running honda radiators in their turbo AE92s to make room for the turbo, and they don't have any problems and they produce way more heat than an N/A 4AGE.
