    coolant tank relocation

    I have the early model round coolant tank on the passenger side and I want to move it. I don't like how it sags down and covers my nice shinny headers lol.

    I know I can switch to the late model one but I dont have money to buy one or the hoses to relocate it.

    Just seeing if someone found a spot in the bay with little to no modifications where I could put the coolant ball. Also want to know how high it has to sit to properly work.

          I was thinking about that but the return hose runs right past my headers and would defiantly melt. maybe i could heat wrap it?
