Here is a shot from the other side of the motor. Notice this tank has the original LEFT HAND SIDE outlet. We make them with BOTH RIGHT and LEFT hand outlets. And we make them for 427's and now small blocks as well. I am really happy with this part. It makes the engine compartment look SO much better!

Looks very nice Dave, and it's displayed on a REAL small block, not a make believe one. You know what I'm talkin' about 
PS: Is there enough of a recess for the thermostat to fit?

Hey David
Have you tried the new tank just to make sure it doesn't hit the hood when closed?
I will be ordering one hopefully Tuesday.

I would have posted a picture, but the stinker Sandwich took the tank for a "test drive" and didn't come back!
I'll get him to bring his car back in for a pic.

I better add this:
We are sort of back logged on them right now. It will take about a week to get any more out. Which, of course, puts a smile on my face.

There is an Allah...only three years!!!
Ok...same or slightly larger diameter as the reservoir tanks, just longer. Petcock at the bottom and a tube so we can attach a rubber line that will let it drain out below the frame (buy a cheap plastic Summitt one like JJ and I use and you'll see).
The top can be a threaded cap, but with a fitting to accept the line from the expansion tank.
Use the same mounting setup...we can either put it next to the reservoirs or on the passenger side (my expansion tank has the cap/pverflow fitting on that side...don't ask me why, you installed it just to make me feel special I guess, and no, I haven't installed that shiney sucker you sent me cuz I'm lazy).
Don't get fancy...KISS!!!
Feel free to etch "Jamo Dump" on the side.
Bite me.

Do you all want something like this that is welded, or do you want a billet part?

Personally, I like the looks of a fabed one vs a billet one. I'd want it simple looking too.
I wouldn't want it to be polished either because I like vintage/comp look stuff.
That's just me though.

I prefer the billet look as it would match the brake/clutch cans as well as the billet surge tank.

We are running into a volume and space problem. Still thinking on this one. It is not as easy as we first thought.

I was at the Miller Motorsports Museum on Tuesday and one of the Comp 427's has a tank (painted plastic bottle) mounted in about the same place as the Jamo Special (on the top of the triangular cross member, passenger side). A billet tank with a tube mount (and a slot for the brake line) might be a good compromise.

We are thinking about that location right now. It looks like the only place it is going to fit.

How about the passenger fenderwell over the exhaust? Still somewhat visible but out of the way.

David the ones you pointed out as examples are only 24 oz. Don't most tracks require a one quart capacity?
I say match it to the reserviors.

Yes, they do need to be 1 quart and that is what is causing us so many challenges right now.

I'm glad you like it.
The poll above is quite interesting. We have sold way more of these than people who voted against it. I wonder why they don't want it??? Maybe if they saw it in real life they would change their mind.
