omega0684 - 10/10/08 at 07:40 PM

evening all,

after a consideration of my coolant syatem on my pinto, i think i need to raise the header tank as the botton of my current header tank is very close the head hieght of the block. do any of you know of any shallow header tanks that could be used, ive only got about 4-5" of space

Not sure how important what height the bottom of the header tank is ? I thought what matters is that it is high enough to have some air space above the highest point in the cooling system .

I have one, from volvo 440 - box shape.
measured to be 180 x 130 x 115 mm

now I have blue numbers on my hand

115 is height includng the cap and bottom mouunt - pipe(s) come out the side.

& no, you can't have it

possibly 850 may suit but not sure.

Deneo's work is top quality, if not and your willing to pay CBS do this.
