Engine oil cooler, what size reccomended?

I scored a engine oil cooler adapter and the hard lines to get me to the front of the car. Since I dont have a factory engine oil cooler, I need to know what size cooler would work? I do have a small transmission cooler, 4 pass 7x6x1, would that do the trick or do I need to go bigger?
Thanks!

Does that work well?
I'm tempted to go that route since I have an electric pusher fan on the trans cooler already. I just dont want to get the transmission too hot since my TC doesent work. I found a killer cooler at work today, I always thought it was a small car condenser but the cores are copper, the thing is 27in long 16in high now that would do the trick if I could squeeze it in there.
