Stock 305 Radiator compatible with new 350?

Will my 1991 RS 305 TBI Radiator/Fan be sufficient to handle the likings of a built up 350, or is that yet another thing I have to get before I do this swap?

Made the swap from a 305 TPI to a Crate 350 TPI with no changes to the cooling system or fans. (new chip turns one fan on below 35MPH). No cooling problems with the stock system.

I swapped out my 305 for my 406 small block with no problems at all, i run 180 out in the country and about 200 around town, i have a flex fan with no shroud so it would be even cooler if i had the correct shroud.

how much hp is the 350 ur talkin about i had a 305 TBI in my car and i put a 355 motor in it and i had to upgrade to a Griffin universal alum. radiator. but im using the stock fan. my car would try to over heat just driving halfway across town. and its a small town. but i got the alum. 2 core with the 1 inch tubes universal racing 31x19 and works just fine. barely any modifing was needed for factory fan cover and all. and for all the money saved from buyin one for that car its worth it. it cools like a champ. actually right now runnin to cold.
