Biggest tranny cooler possible?

I want to install a tranny cooler on my 95 LT1, how big of a cooler can I go with and still make an easy fit on the radiator? The cooler I'm looking at right now is 11 inches tall, 11 3/4 long, and has a 9 1/4 core. I like the cooler I just think it is to big. Any thoughts?

Thanks

I think that's going to be too big, it will hurt flow to the radiator, that seems to be the hard thing with the trans coolers, one that does a great job on the trans hurts the engine temps.So far the street rod style that mounts along the frame rail seems the best overall, but then it's open to road debris.Measure your radiator, and see how much would get covered, I wouldn't think you'd want to block more than about 10% of it

i've seen people go with 2 24k b&m supercoolers. They're not expensive at all (64 shipped each) from most places, and they work great.
