Reverse flow Radiator

Hi I am currently replacing my 1989 305 engine and trans with a 1995 350 LT1 out of a impala ss.
Can I use the stock radiator out of my firebird or do I need one that uses reverse flow?
Thanks mike.

from what ive been told, the pump technically doesnt "pump" in reverse, the coolant just flows to the heads first before going to the rest of the engine. You should be able to use your current radiator but i could be wrong.
