Never found one and I looked. Just replace it with another GDI unit. Myabe you want to add an oil cooler and separate tranny cooler to help out the stock radiator. Otherwise custom might be your only other hope...or swap out the whole radiator support for the 4.0 enigned model XJs, then you can use the larger 4.0 radiator.

The 2.8 rad is old-style, with metal tanks.

20-30 years ago, every radiator shop had the ability to upgrade original radiators to HD (three rows), by using generic cores and just soldering up using customer's tanks.

Try a local radiator shop that's been around that long, and see if they can do a cost-effective 'custom' unit.
