289 Street Car surge tank source?
Has anyone got a source for the black surge tank used on the street cars? It looks like an early Lincoln surge tank, but the hose connections are all wrong.

The Finishline piece is a "conversion" expansion tank so that a small-block installation looks semi-appropriate for a 427 body. The correct expansion tank for a street 289 looks like this. I hear rumors that Mickmate is working on a reproduction.

I recognize that little ally tube on Johns car ;-)

Hey John, do you have any pics of what you did for the bracket and how you made it?
It's nice job!

It was made from a 1961 Lincoln 430 motor. Had to remove and close off the stock necks, reconfigure the mounting bracket and solder on new fittings. The hardest part was finding one. Sorry no pictures.

The Lincoln tank is close but the filler neck isn't oriented correctly. The ears on the cap should be crossways to the engine center line when closed.
Looking forward to seeing one of Chucks tanks.

I have a lincoln tank enroute to me now. I will modify it rather than buying a new one. The orientation of the filler neck is super simple.

Geez... I just re-read my post and found that I'm really sick and obsessed with this stuff!:LOL:
