Default Cooling Question?

What would be the best stock radiator to put on my D16Z6 in my 94 Civic? I hate opening the hood and people go holy crap thats your radiator? I have an oil cooler that is almost 1/2 the size of the damn thing, also I think it will be better for the summer, I will keep the stock radiator this winter, but I want to know what make and model I can pull a cheap radiator out of ? I was thinking a prelude or somthing with a 2.0 or larger? The fan is no problem I have a Flex-a-lite fan on my stock one now, and its 2" to large.. So it will fit a bigger radiator fine...

just curious.
Does the oil cooler get really hot? I know it sounds like a stupid question.

Umm,,, I am not sure, I know it cooled the temp. of the oil down about 8 deg. F, but that was on 2 different days, and I had the car running longer when I had the oil cooler on it.. I cant really feel the cooler because it has a fan mounted to it. I have the cooler mounted where the stock air box was, and my oil filter is next to it.
