David, the one-piece approach is a great idea. I just spent the last two weeks installing an SPF tank on my polished Windsor. It's a beautiful tank, but a lot of the assembly grief came from mounting the tank on that 2' spacer plus you have to order a 90 degree thermostat housing, which can be extremely expensive if you go the polished route. Yours should be right popular. By the way, the hose flange on the SPF is 2", so one has to plan on another nice additional chunk of money to install a Coolflex hose. 1.75" or less is no problem.

Here you can see we took the original distributor cap off and placed the large electric distributor cap on the motor. We wanted to make sure it cleared everything--and it does!

Here you can see we also modified the new 2 piece cold air box (turkey pan) so it would clear the big cap as well.

This is a picture of our latest addition to the line up---the right hand outlet.
We have been making left hand outlet tanks now for a long time. I'll post a picture of those soon as soon as we get the o-ring thing figured out.
By the way, this is 289 motor, not a 351.

Here you can see we kept the port for the little 90 degree bypass hose.

Tony,
Our outlets are 1.75 inches. I am not sure why the SPF tank is 2 inches when there aren't many radiators that have a 2 inch inlet. That caused us a lot of grief and was one of the precipitating factors that persuaded us to make these tanks in the first place. I was tired of looking for a reducing hose.

I am going to edit the above pictures and put captions with them. I was on the phone with a customer and so I just uploaded and posted the pics while I was talking. I wasn't smart enough to post captions at the same time!
