Overflow tank

[Emanuel]

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can purchase/order a billet aluminum overflow tank similar to one which some guys use in their SLC builds?
Thank you.

Emanuel,

This was before my time on the forums, but I believe this was a group purchase and is no longer available to order. It could always be custom made.

Give me the dimensions of what you want and I'll quote it!

You choose the bung size / locations and the cap that you want. Do you want a sight tube in the side as well?

Something like this....

Emanuel,

The picture that you posted is for an expansion tank. The line from its pressure cap is plumbed into an overflow tank, typically the bottom so that when the system cools down water, rather than air, is drawn into the expansion tank. The expansion tank is pressurized whereas the overflow tank is simple, unpressurized container. I tweaked the original design of the expansion tank. The first post lists the changes and second one shows the completed unit.

A simpler tank such as the one used in my build works and is lower cost and easier to fabricate.

This is a moroso expansion tank and the overflow tank is behind it. Cheap and easy. I have over 850 miles and 3 track days with this setup. No issues and no overheating.

Canton Racing Products (part number 80-203, $258 from Summit Racing) makes a combined expansion and overflow tank that fits well next to the LS engine as shown below.

Looks great. Just got mine bolted in (for now). I do not know how to transport car there. I think I have the column welded up. But I might want to drop off the nose for "stance" and the rear to have your tail lights mounted in there. And as I get further along, more stuff....
