I am looking for a expansion tank for the coolant system.

ERA makes meticulous replicas, new, no corrosion or leakage issues, already converted for Cobra use (T-Bird ones are backwards and need a spout moved.) They may be able to provide an original style one as well as the converted one.

We make billet tanks for big block FE's, small blocks, Clevelands, and 460's. We also make both right and left outlets.

Small Block Surge Tank???

Thanks!

I have a new unused Superformance stainless steel tank, powdercoated black I'll sell. (I decided to go with the polished look instead.) It's for an FE with passenger side outlet.

Let me know if your interested.

I'm not sure how different to 460 tank is but here's the FE tank: http://www.kirkhammotorsports.com/parts/


BTW: David, did you know you lost the parts link on the front page when you added the billet book link?

RoknDad has a nice one in his gallery. I believe he told me he got it from Hillbank here in SoCal, somewhere around $400-500.
