I don't know what the differences are between a SB and BB 22" rad but you certainly don't need a 26" rad; waste of time and money.
My #'s 440-6 car has the factory 22" rad because it doesn't have the following;
- A/C (N/A with N96, 440-6 or Hemi) - Trailer towing package (N/A 225,440-6 or Hemi) - Axle Package (mandatory with 4spd and 440-4, 440-6 or Hemi).
The 22" rad is standard for all Mopar engines except the Hemi which automatically mandated the max cooling option.
99% of all cooling problems have nothing to do with the size of the radiator; clean block, clean rad, proper water pump. proper fan, fan shroud, operational thermostat, spring in the lower hose to prevent collapse under suction pressure, etc. etc.

Is your car an A12 car? I thought all those came with a max-cooling 26"?
