How about the radiator from the Donor rig that provided the 350.

You can use the stock 3core yota radiator but youll need an electric fan with the colling copacity. also check out Downey offroad and Northwest offroad they sell a alluminium one thats built for it. Search for this stuff yuoll find the answeres your looking for and all the 350+ all motor swaps for that matter

A friend of mine just swapped a 350 into his silverado. It originally had the 4.3L v6 but he is using the stock radiator for the 350.

the 4.3 and 350 are pretty much the same motor minus 2 cly. thats one reason why chevy is cheap and does things like this but it works well for them. people complain about the cooling issues with this swap but it taks a good fan and not romping the motor all to hell
