350 radiator in a 305 car - any issues?
Just thinking out loud here. I know I've heard of people running into issues with overcooling their cars, but I can't imagine this would be the case.
We swapped a 350 TPI into one of my old 305 TBI cars and we put a bigger radiator out of a 350 car in it.
Now the car is getting parted out for a project we're doing on a 89 Formula, so I'm wondering if I can stick the new 350 radiator with the 305 TBI and have no problems.
I know what a problem these cars have with overheating, I've owned a bunch and only a handful didn't have cooling problems, so I figure it couldn't hurt to have a bigger radiator.
What do you think?
