Chev 350 sm block in my Supra...need some advise

Hey guys,
I bought a 87 witha 350 in it

this car has some cooling problems...because of the small rad...I will prolly have to put a bigger one in under the car or maybe where the intercooler goes ..Has anyone done it...and will thicker rad be just as good or do i need a big one to catch more air...Cant fit any bigger length wise in the stock location...any ideas?

Also its got a auto tranny, which kinda sucks but oh well...What kinda gear ratios do i need for this 3 spd...Im not sure what tranny it is yet tho...

Thanks for anyhelp,,,Im sure this has been done before!

he said he bought it like that...

i think you'll have to find american stuff to put in the rear diff, i'm not sure that too much is available for the stock supra rear end

for the cooling problems you could go with a cooler thermostat, a thicker rad, some water wetter, maybe a better water pump

3spd auto, that's the most brutal part about it...
