New E-Fans, Where to put the Radix Tank
Guys,
Modding again. Was going to do cam, e-fans, smaller SC pulley but decided to just do the e-fans and pulley due to time. Afraid I wouldn't get it done all in one day.
Anyway I have installed the new 2005 Electric fans and the shroud coupled with the extra width of a 34 inch radiator won't allow room for the pump and coolant tank on shroud like before. I have to move it somewhere and damned if can find a good spot. I've been looking around for couple hours now under that hood. Anybody got any suggestions on alternate locations. I'm thinking about screwing it to the passenger side firewall under the brace. Gonna be some long darn hoses running around and the pump up near the radiator.? How close does the pump HAVE to be to the tank? Can't believe I am letting this whooop me

Only problem there is the heat from the radiator keeps the water in the resvoir warm!
