Ford Windsor/FE Unassembled Expansion Tank

Ford FE Expansion Header Tank Kit

OE Spec expansion tanks have been re-engineered to visually replicate the original Ford FE brass expansion tanks fitted to Galaxies and Thunderbirds in the early to mid 60's whilst using modern manufacturing methods and materials to far exceed the quality and longevity of the original tanks.  

Sometimes your application requires something a little unusual, so we offer the tank in a parts version so you have the option to modify and assemble in a configuration to suit you.  All stainless steel parts means you have an easy to weld kit.

This kit also contains a billet aluminium adaptor to allow this tank to be fitted to a small block windsor.

Kit Contents

• Ford FE Expansion Tank
• Expansion Tank to adaptor gasket and bolts
• Windsor adaptor block with bypass hose spigot and adaptor to manifold gasket

Technical Data Sheet

Installation Instructions

Installation

The adaptor creates clearance for the tank to most distributors of 110mm diameter and less, and redirects the thermostat bypass hose to create clearance.  Note that you may need to modify/swap the rubber bypass hose depending on your installation.   The adaptor is CNC machined from billet and satin black powdercoated for a great long lasting look.

This kit contains all the parts required to assemble a standard style tank.  The tank can also be built as a Cobra style tank with the top outlet reversed.  (Note that the brackets  supplied will place the tank at a standard height, and would need modifying to lower the tank)

Tech Specs

The main tank body, inner level plate, inlet and outlet are made from 1.2mm (16 gauge) 304L stainless steel.  The inlet manifold flange is machined from 10mm (3/8") stainless steel with the larger 63mm (2.5") thermostat recess for improved flow. 

The bracket thickness has been upgraded to 2mm (12 gauge) stainless steel from the original 1.2mm mild steel, to prevent any movement leading to hairline cracks developing.

Shipping

Securely packaged for shipping and supplied in an attractive presentation box with 13psi radiator cap, manifold gasket and bolts and a branded keyring.
