cool enough?

I'm swapping out my LG4 for a 74 carbed 350 from a vette. Everything on the car is stock as far as I know. The radiator is new, but also stock. The motor is coming with a moroso electric pump. Will I have any problems with the cooling system not being enough for the bigger motor? What are some cheap mods that I could do to help it?

Swap out the electric waterpump with a Stewart stage 1 replacement pump for about $69 from www.stewartcomponents.com Electric waterpumps should only be used on drag racing vehicles as Mechanical waterpumps are more reliable for a street car if that's what you use it for.

I have the Moroso pump and I think you will find it very hard to connect a belt to anything on the motor. The pump comes out so far, it blocks belts to the alt, a/c, ps and such. Also, mine did not keep the motor cool enough for street use.
