Probably more worth your time to buy a new one. You'd have to cut the end tank off, cut the core to size, deburr the entire core and end tank, as you don't want any of the shavings in your engine (and there will be A LOT of shavings), then have it TIG welded back on, and pressure tested for leaks. The welding and testing will probably be around $100 from a reputable shop, and the cutting and deburring will be about 3-4 hours I'd say. Worth it?

Those little plates on the ends of the core are pressed on and some sort of glue material is used. Then they go into an oven for a long time. Then the tanks are welded on.
Its definitely not worth the time/effort to do this, especially since other sizes are so cheap these days.
My dad used to work for JB radiator co.
The process their intercoolers went through to ensure quality and reliability was insane. One little flaw and they'd just trash the whole core.
