[QUOTE="JCDriller, post: 16418918, member: 194592"] Ok my friend you clearly understand the better than me, but I think we are already on the same page, please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, thank you for your input, I appreciate you taking the time to help. My plan isn't to eliminate the surge/expansion tank, it's to hide it in a fender or at a minimum move it like 94slowbra1 or Malcom8 to open up the front of the engine for esthetics, cooling, ease of maintenance, etc. I'm going to use the SN95 radiator's fill port at a convenient and clean looking way to fill the system since my expansion tank will be hard to get to. I'm also accepting that I'll have to fill the system on ramps or a steep hill to get the fill port above the rest of the cooling system. I won't need a pressure cap with the pressurized expansion tank, correct?, therefore I can weld up the barbed overflow tank output on the fill neck. Bypassing off the rear drivers side head seems to be the norm for these types of mods, the passengers side passes through the heater core and using a line off the head near cyl 7/8 gives the otherwise trapped/slow flowing coolant a better way to escape and it helps open the thermostat (I know you already know that, just stating it to make sure I have it right) I don't see how this could be a problem and I'd imagine it flows better than trying to direct all the fluid in to the heater core like on the traditional head cooling mod. I ordered a Cobra Engineering cross over delete today so I'll be a -10an bypass off the rear drivers side head to the thermostat housing. [/QUOTE]
