Auto heater cores is something that has been considered..

How many BTUs do you get out of an automotive heater? *SOME heater
cores would be too small, but many are about 100 square inches and 2
1/2 inches thick. The advantage is they are DESIGNED for roughly 3/4"
hose, and the flow rates involved, while radiators are designed for
roughly 2 inch hoses and the much higher flow rates. 2 heater cores
from something like an old impala or Chevy Suburban would likely be
more than adequate.
The unit has a slot for an electrotatic airfilter that is not being
used, my son plans on test various designs by building them so the
will slide in place of the filter. He may well be able to find a
radiator that would fit. He was talking about taking a look at the
heater core out of a school bus one day this week to see how it may
fit.
