I am looking to relocate/replace my coolant tank to make way for a hood vent behind radiator.

is there a specific size of over flow tank that is needed?

design looks fairly straight forward vapor line to radiator into top and return line to cooling system out the bottom

thanks

Might be worth looking into a GT cooling set up. I don't think they have the center bypass hose that the 4V has. One less thing to route.

As for size I couldn't tell you.

Any other input?

I see a lot of tank options on race sites just wondering on size an orientation of hose attachments.

Understanding that it is a closed system under pressure does return line need to be above liquid level?

I know the tank is the same. It's the lower hose set up thats different. My buddy had a 98 GT and deleted the tank. He went to a small aluminum tank mounted where the battery went. Maybe a a half gallon if that big. And he put a radiator cap adapter in the top radiator hose.

You'll want the small feed line at the bottom of the overflow tank so it'll still suck the coolant back in as it cools down.

That's what I was thinking, battery relocation, put a reservoir there.

So the small vapor line out of the top of radiator goes to bottom of new reservoir?

Correct. That way it pulls the extra coolant back in as things cool down.
