Default help with radiator / cooling ?

Living near Atlanta GA, I have plenty of opportunity to be stuck in traffic on 90 degree days in my B and B roadster 427.

Is it possible to have adequate motor cooling so I do not have to worry about over heating while idling ? Can it be done for less than $1K ?

Currently I have a copper/brass radiator appx 23 inches wide and 20 in high and about 3 inch wide and a 16 inch 'pusher' fan.

Since I don't have an oil cooler, I'm thinking about adding a large heater core to that area and perhaps add a fan from a motorcycle or ATV.

I've looked at aluminum radiators with 'puller' fans and shrouds, but most are much wider than my space.

What set ups do you think will solve my problem ?

Thanks George L
