ANYBODY else running a buick 3800 V6? need cooling advice

I have an 86 toyota pickup, with the BUICK 3800 V6 in it. Great motor ;-) The guy I bought it form didnt set up the cooling system properly though. I need a bigger radiator, and Ide like to run a dual Electric fan setup. Do any of you have advice on what would be best, or what you've done for your 3800's? Or other swaps aswell.

Find a rad outta a chevy truck or caddy. That should be HUGE and work quite well. The caddy will have electric fans I think stock.

Is that the 235 or 225 engine whichever it is? if so thats the one in our jeep and we have dual electric fans and it never heats up. if thats not the same engine, we have dual elecric fans on our jeep and it works fine
