Post swap Temp changes?

I own an 84 TA 4bbl. I am going to replace the 305 with a 350. I was wondering if coolent temps will change due to this swap. My Temp gauge reads 100F(start) 220F(midpoint) and 260F(redline). The 305 runs about 210-220F. Will the 350 be the same, or would it be higher due to the larger displacement? I am going to get the 350's water pump. Thanks for any replies.

I did this swap and my temps did not change. I even kept the 305 pump and radiator.
