    Recovery tank height?

    Do you need to mount the coolant recovery tank at a certain height on the car? Meaning does it need to be above the engine or does it not matter?

    Radiator Vent Line

    I am working on installing my cooling system. I installed the radiator and I’m now adding the coolant tubes. Doing some research on this site, I now know that I need an expansion tank and an overflow tank. I’m planning on using a coyote motor (no disparaging comments please) and I don’t...

    Fuel Filling and Venting

    Coolant tank scratch build.

    Thought I would share some pictures of the coolant tank I built. The old tank was simply terribly wrong and I hated it. So I finally had a day to mock one up out of cardboard then fabricate an aluminum one from scratch. Way better! I hope you guys approve!

    Thoughts on fuel tank temperature?

    I'm working on installing the fuel tank and fuel system. I had planned to install a closeout panel behind the tank, between it and the engine. I then started thinking about what kind of temperatures the tank goes through. With the engine right next to it, does the tank heat soak? Ultimately...

    Fuel System Reconfiguration

    The original builder/owners of this car took an interesting, but less preferable approach for the twin tank fuel system. Each tank has a dedicated pump, filter, regulator and gauge feeding one bank of cylinders. This means both pumps need to operate full time. See attached system diagram...

    Coolant System Overflow Tank

    I am working on the details of the cooling system and have the pressurized "Header" tank worked out. In looking at the overflow tank, I have a -4AN fitting going to a 1/8th NPT at the top of the tank, and a drain at the bottom. Shouldn't there be a hose connected to the NPT thread going to the...

    LS Steam Tube

    I have read in the Superlite Build Manual that the steam tube from the LS motor can be run straight to the Header (pressurized) tank in the coolant system rather than run to the radiator and back to the header tank. That would certainly make things easier, but is it better? I plan to mount the...
