I drove my 356 in 90 degree weather to the West Coast Holiday a few years back. Stock cooling with a built 1750cc Super 90 motor. No heat issues at all.
I love the look of the car but it would just sit if I owned it.

I had over heating issues with my 65.
Installed a temp gauge before and after the radiator.
Turns out the electric fan was the issue, it just didn't move enough air.
Put the stock belt driven fan back on and all is good.
