princejqman Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I have a 1972 240z that has a Champio 3 row radiator with MSA fan Shroud. I need to find a sporty stainless Steel or aluminium overflow tank to install besides the radiator as the one i purchased from Champion is 2" x 13" and too long and collides with the bottom of the chassis on the engine bay. Should i settle for the MSA STAINLESS STEEL OVERFLOW TANK??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHoob2004 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Mishimoto has one that looks nice, but they're a little pricey (cheaper elsewhere, such as amazon) https://www.mishimoto.com/aluminum-coolant-reservoir-tank.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaNoZeta Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 For my 5.0 Mustang I went to Oreilly's and got one of these https://oreillyauto.com/detail/dorman-help--4422/cooling---heating-16773/coolant-recovery-tank---universal-17482/coolant-recovery-kit/54002/4528645/1976/ford/mustang-ii It worked great with a triple pass radiator which I highly don't recommend. When I was driving my Z I simply used a Sobe bottle, back when they were glass. I put two holes in the cap, one with a rubber hose going almost to the bottom, and the other I left open as a vent. Never had a problem with it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhm Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Summit and Jegs have a huge selection of overflow tanks in many shapes, sizes, and prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 A little late to the party, but you make some simple brackets and use the 2x13 one included. Mine is floating a little behind the radiator on 2 U-brackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
