what is a good radiator when doing a 350 swap

im in the process of doing a 350 swap right now but i dont want to weld the engine mounts until i have a radiator that will work. ive done some research on it and found that a corvette or chevelle radiator will fit if i fab up some mounts but was just wondering if there is a better solution. also today i hoisted the 350 into the engine bay and realized its a lot snugger fit then i thought but still ok, has anyone cut the front core support and fabed it up so you can push the radiator foward a little? any info will help

Probly any rad that runs with a 350

Every 350 swap i've seen has been done with a cut up core support fabbed to accommodate the rad

I did a 327 SBC swap in an 85 years ago. I used a STOCK Toyota Desiel pickup truck radiator. It is thicker (larger capacity) than the gasoline engine radiator and fits directly into the stock mounts. However, as with most of these V8 swaps, you will have to run electric fans as there is absolutely no room for a belt driven fan.
