upgrading engine

I pulled out a 305 that had a 160 stat that normally ran well once the thermostat opened, but I am putting in my 350 this weekend,and will the 350 w/ a 160 stat w/ single fan be enough for it or should I start looking around?

Re: upgrading engine

I have a 2 row, 1" tube, all aluminum radiator, "direct fit" brand new in box, has warranty through me for 12 months, $255.00, has a/t cooler, port for heater return hose if needed, port for low coolant indicator if needed. I have sold many of these, no problems. will have to modify fan mounts as radiator is 3" thick at the header plated (the area on the tanks where they are welded onto the core & sit in the rubber insulators ) & core is 2 1/4" but mods are minor. This is double the oem aluminum radiator. Have similar rad in my car w/383 & blower, no problems.
