I found a '29'Ford P/U just waiting to be "cooled out"! I do think my daughter is going to have to wait for my next lifetime though!

Without having my hands on it, I think I can make that work AND stilll use the solid tubes. A little TIG welding here, there, a little candy apple red w-clear coat and a pipe finish in black powder coat - wal-ah! Maybe

I talked to Enzo at Finishline and he said that if my pulley setup from March pretty much replicates the original pulley setup, than that expansion tank would work. Looking at pictures of my setup compared to others that don't appear to be running March pulleys, mine and theirs look pretty much the same.

I think I'm going to order one of the tanks and bring it over on my next trip and you and I can mock up the tank and see if it will work. If it will, we can then figure out the hard lines. I'm pretty jammed at work until the end of the month, so I was thinking on coming over on 2/7, if that works for you? Maybe the temperature will cooperate between now and then (its -2 on this side of the lake today) and we might see some paint??

Cheers!

Thanks Brian!

But I'm not sure if the tank will work for me or not. Thats why I called Enzo at Finishline. He said I could return it if it doesn't work.

Sorry.. I was at work and the boss walked in..

The 45 degree fitting for the plumbing that comes with that tank was an issue. I don't know what its made of but the one I got severely deformed once it met the hot liquid. I had to get a better one. Also it used to like to drip a lot until I put a dose of gasket sealer on the gaskets.

Now its all good and I love it.

Thanks for the additional feedback on the tank. Sounds like a couple of small issues. I really like the look. I'm going to pick one up at the end of the month and see if DV and I can make it work with the ridged cooling line he is making.

Thanks again!
