Customers appreciate the LS Surge Tank for its perfect fit even in small, limited spaces making it ideal for vehicle swaps such as the LS1 and 1960 AH Bug Eye. They value its practicality, precisely designed for plumbing in the steam port exit, and as a replaceable radiator expansion tank for turbo setups. Its quality construction ensures functionality and safety, proved by its ability to properly burp the cooling system when placed at the highest point.

Nicely constructed with the openings for hose fittings near to being where I'd put them if I had one custom made. Used it on my 1960 AH Bug Eye, small car with limited space to fit. It works well.

Great expansion tank, just had to figure out thread of the nuts on the bracket... 1/4"-28, locking. Put this at the high point of the cooling system so it burps properly... I used it on an LS1 swap where the radiator was lower than the engine. steam line goes to the small port, and then T's into the heater hose.

We use it as a replacement for radiator expansion tanks where we need more room for our turbo set ups. Works great. Would like it if the bottom fitting was 1/2 x 14 NPT more but we just drill and tap it out to that size.

Can this be used as a radiator overflow or catch tank? I have a hot rod and I like this because of it's size. Thanks
