The stock radiators are pretty small IMO,a freind has a L/C with a 350 and has problems keeping cool. Cant hurt to try and if no go maybe a radiator shop can build you a 4 pass radiator for it.
350's are recommended to run 5000CFM fans, for a crawler where the weather gets hot, I'd make darn sure I had a big enough fan the first time, FWIW.
Doubt the stock radiator will work, but as mentioned, run it, watch the temp. If it won't stay at the rated t-stat temp in normal driving, or at least during mild outdoor temp drivin, you need bigger.
