Stay Cool

I'm running a 6-71 supercharger on a s/b. Any one know what size radiator I should use to keep things cool?

I am having heating issues myself so I am curious to see what others suggest.. I'm fine at cruise but as soon as in go into an idle, it creeps up real fast.. Actually I can watch it starting to rise before I even come to a complete stop.

Someone changed my radiator with something totally different and it would be nice to replace it with one that is the same but I dont have a clue where it came from. For example, on a 68 I believe the lower water hose port is located on the side but on mine its located at the very bottom but on the rear and angling toward the center.. My lower trans fluid port is also located above the lower hose, not under it.. I just hate to have to bend new trans lines. Trying to get measurements while its still in the car isnt easy either but I dont want to pull it yet so I can continue to drive it.
