As far as I know on V6s the top and bottom radiator houses are switched. This and the fact that the V8 radiator will be more capable of cooling down your new 350, should be the two reasons you should get one.

I know someone who did that swap and they DID have to replace their radiator. They got the same one that I got which was from 1-800-RADIATOR. Its a 3 core radiator, no plastic tank. All metal. It was fairly cheap $120 and free overnight shipping!!
