Radiator overflow containers for lsx swaps
 
Hey guys, I have a 69 camaro with an ls swap. I recently installed a superior radiator and was curious if anyone has a good aftermarket radiator overflow that they have used that is neat looking and efficient. If you have one you have used please give suggestions and part numbers if possible.

I used some aluminum to adapt it to fit using the factory overflow mounting hardware.

My favorite to use on Camaros is the factory 1974 nova overflow tank. It's plastic and tucks into the fender behind the headlamp.

$40 on eBay.

Vince,

Any pics how you mount it?

Its pretty insane what some tanks cost.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Vince Chris told me you made him one that looks outstanding. I was hoping to get one for under $30 but that may not be a possibility. I guess the nova one may have to work.

Custom hidden tanks are not cheap. It takes a lot of time to fabricate.

The one on Chris's Chevelle is a vapor/coolant combo recovery tank.

You can buy that same tank on ebay without the Transdapt name for a whole lot less money...

Yeah if it was not for the V/A system, I would have used the nova tank. I love anything that appears factory and hidden..... :trophy-1302:


Or you can have vince build you a custom one :weld: , But you gotta pay to play :D
