My 427 car is almost done, does anyone have an interesting idea for a coolant overflow jar? What are you using in your bigblock car? Thanks in advance.

Gatorade bottle wedged between the frame rail and the steering shaft.

...well, at least until I figure out something else, maybe I'll watch this thread for ideas.

Some get the stainless steel ones from Finishline and such places. Igo to NAPA and get cheap plastic ones that I can see the water level in and are easy to add water to when I need to.

I picked up an aluminum over flow tank.

The system is sealed and the tank takes up the slack.

You are refering to the puke tank...right?

If you are referring to the overflow tank from the expansion tank, I use a Goza aluminum recirculating catch can. #GZR-1412 from Summit.

It is made of billet aluminum with a brushed finish. Mounted mine on passengers side inner fender. Works extremely well.
