[1985cutlasssupreme]

i did a sbc 350 swap in my cutlass and i want to know what v8 radiator would i use for it? like out of what car?

You can go to any local parts store and pick up a radiator for your Cutlass. Just tell them it has a olds 307 and make sure you get the radiator hoses from a monte carlo with the 305. You will also need a radiator top plate from a V-8 Gbody. Feel free to ask any questions.

out of what car would i get a fan shroud from?

You could also use a V8 fan shroud from a Monte Carlo, they are a 2 piece plastic version where the top plate is already molded in so all you would need is the shroud.

Thanks , also my motor needs a new thermostat , when I go to the auto parts under what car do I order it from? Since it's a sbc350

A shroud works from a V8 Bonneville also. They are plentiful in the yards here.

Since most parts stores seem to require a vehicle when buying parts just say your car is the same year but is a Monte Carlo with a 305, you can order a thermostat for that and you will get a stock temp. one for that engine. Thermostats for small block Chevy regardless of engine size are all the same and this includes big blocks also, just the temp. ratings differ.
I believe stock would be 195* but you can get 180* and 160* and also performance versions that flow more.
