A DeWitts dual fan radiator would probably be a good start.

I'm running a 509 with a 8-71, Becool Radiator custom built for tube frame chassis and dual pullers, in Heavy traffic, it will still get Hot. Has to be moving, even if it's only 10-15 mph.
Long story short, I would talk to Dewitts if/when I need another.

Are you sure the stock system will not be adequate? A stock system in excellent condition may well work - be sure it is fine tuned to it's original design as to blade positioning in relation to the shroud and that the pump is good and/or use a high volume one.
Normal driving situations in traffic should not drive up the need for bigger system capacities. If the engine has the prerequisite low compression, it will cool easier at driving speeds. Getting into the blower hard will heat it up in the short bursts, but likely under control of the stock system.
