Dave:
I think you are looking for a one of deal using the OEM tank. If it has been cut down to reduce the height, is the plate normally used as a brace still part of the assembly. Your remarks about using Silver Solder are a very sound. It is much stronger than lead type and less prone to damage from expansion, and the violent shaking these heavily cammed motors exibit. Check you radiator cap too, it may be rated too high for what these tanks were originally intended for (13# was max as I recall(???).
You're on the right track if you know how to Silver Solder well.
