Just do a web search on "transmission cooler", I got 108,000 hits !
The first one I looked at was $59 but that was for an entire kit (including
mounting brackets and hoses). I'm sure just the core could be found for
less. A good source would be specialty shops for off-road and/or 4-wheel
drive vehicles.
The term (here in the US anyway) for the heater.... is heater core. These
are many times odd-sized because of the limited space in the ductwork of the
auto. In addition most would be for replacement service whereas there are
many "add-on" transmission coolers available.
Put up some pictures of your finished project!!
