Looks real good! Good addition to your already amazing engine compartment.
Where did you order it from?

i ordered it off of ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CANTO...Q5fAccessories

but i didnt pay $149...he says in his description that he beats the cheapest price by 5% so i found it cheaper on ebay and called him up on the number provided in the description and he sold the tank to me for $135 shipped....it got here in 3 days....

thanks! might have to start picking up some of these pieces soon... where'd you buy the radiator cover extension pieces? i wonder if they have some for the gt500 radiator cover? they're shaped a little different so i wonder if the regular gt ones fit.

as for me, i didnt find out until AFTER i installed it on the car that the OEM cap wouldnt work so i had to put tape over the spout and drive down to AutoZone and get a cap for it lol.....i was pretty upset since i had already fronted the money for a billet radiator cap cover for the OEM cap all to find out i couldnt use it....
it's part # 80-236S - retails for around $160. I ordered mine from Joe Heck Racing. Scroll down page about 1/2 way for description. They also sell the one you got. Part # is 80-236. Presumably the "S" on the one I got means "stock" cap.

damn bro i can't help but want my engine to look like yours! i can't decide whether to go with the manifold cover, canton, airbrushed radiator cover, or strut caps to start with.... maybe i'll start with the manifold cover, so i can send you that plus my radiator cover for you to airbrush...

I ran into the same problem had to replace my $60.00 MGW radiator Cap for for the standard 16psi screw down cap. Here a link to the cheapest price online I could find
bought from them back in 2005 when I installed a WMSracing cai and relocated the tank to the driver side fender well.

Also I think thayt Morosso has the same style tank that will accept the stock style radiator cap.
