I'm in the process of taking apart the engine and the previous owner chucked the overflow tank. Does anyone have a pic of where the overflow tank would be on a 71' Roadrunner or other variant?

My '71 Road Runner did not have a radiator overflow bottle. Just a hose down the side of the radiator hanging out under the frame.

Hey thanks. I had another guy, Eric, over on the roadrunner nest forum tell me the same thing too. Any suggestions on a factory looking tank? What are you running in yours or did you keep the straight hose?

Many years ago when they started requiring an overflow tank before you could make a run at the drag strip we starter tying a plastic milk bottle to the fender well. I do not have an overflow tank but my car is still not finished.I will be looking for safe antifreeze.

If a 71 B body car had a overflow coolant recovery system it would look like this with the plastic bottle and the upper and lower support brackets. It was a rare, little known option back then, mainly for desert climate states. Jim v.
