Here's a problem anyone will run to. When you use an AFCO radiator and a Kenne Bell Superhcarger. The Afco radiator is really thick, and the KB kit relocates the PCM between the motor and the radiator. Well the factory coolant tank no longer fits there because the PCM is in the way. So we decided to modify the fan assembly like so.

And we used a Canton Coolant tank:

We swapped the Kenne Bell to the other side and made some brackets for it since it originally bolts to the factory radiator top 'fin'. Here's how both tanks look swapped:

We then bored and tapped the factory fuel rail crossover to 3/8ths size, and plumbed it with -6AN line to each side. This gave the engine a more unique look and feel.
