Radiator Overflow Tanks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What are you using for a radiator overflow tank? I want to run a closed system with coolant recovery so that the cross flow radiator will be full to the top all of the time. There are lots of tubular ones in the catalogs in various lengths and diameters but I'm not sure what capacity I would need for a non AC mildly built 355 that won't be doing any towing. They seem to come in all capicitys from 20 oz up to 56 oz.

It looks like I have room for a 3" diameter tank in between the radiator support and the grille with room to spare. Kind of hard to tell with everything apart.

Got pictures?
