Looks good Clois. It may not look like it now, but you may want to make those panels removable.

Re the air bleed at the top of the radiator, I routed that to the top of my header tank with a restrictor using a small hole, prob in the order of .040-.060, otherwise a lot of coolant will pass through this, and you really only want air. Then out of the bottom of the header tank is another unrestricted line that goes to the suction side of the system for fill, the header tank being the highest point of the system. Of course you may be using it for something else....

The header tank you are talking about is what I believe is called a degas tank from which the radiator and entire cooling system is filled. Looking at having one made because of lack of space of the traditional 2013-2016 Mustang GT factory OE. I have a call into Moroso to see if they have something with a vented screw on cap that measures 5" deep x 10" wide x 5" tall with a 11/16" main drain that goes into the fill tube at the thermostat and two 1/4" bleed tubes that will go to the Radiator and a bypass at the Thermostat.

If anyone has any experience with something like this please contact me as making a one off aluminium tank is turning out to be quite expensive..

Clois,

You might wish to look at the Howe Surge tanks. (They are reference builder of the radiators for the comp chassis.) See. https://www.howeracing.com/p-7460-surge-tanks.aspx
