V6 to V8 radiator

I have a car that currently has a 2.8L in it and the radiator needs replacing. Late this summer I am dropping in a 350 and was going to upgrade the radiator as I didn't think that the v6 radiator is the same as the V8 radiator. If I got ahold of a radiator out of a V8 car could I just bolt it up to my V6 for now and use the same hoses? Also will a stock V8 radiator cool a built up 350.

Thanks

if 8 rad is froma third gen then yep it will, a stock 8 rad in good shape should be able to cool any 350 really

make sure isnt real rotten/plugged up, take to local rad shop to have it boiled and pressure checked !
