I would just get the rad from the doner truck and fab up some mounts! As long as the old rad is a good one. I have heard that 350's can be hard to cool in a toyota cuz thee isent much room around the engine! I would do a electric fan on that thing! Just my 3 cents!

i cut a hood scoop in. and cut some of my wheel wells out. Heat around the headers gets trapped. i also have two 10inch electric fans. make sure your motor in timed correctly cause that can also cause over heating!!!
