When I contacted them they weren't sure if it would fit the GT350. Let us know how it goes! Nice tank for sure.
Yeah, realize I am taking a slight risk, but confident it will fit. Will let everyone know for sure soon.

I already replaced my tank with the s550 Mishimoto. It fits just fine.

How about a couple cans of Rustoleum for plastic? I would not make it car color (OW in my case), but black with a properly placed inspection window (juts a bit of masking tape should do it). Maybe not pretty, but I prefer to minimize its appearance instead of making it more obvious. FWIW :cheers:

I agree with you as far as minimization. Ideally, I'd like it to vanish completely. LOL
Oh, and 1 can should get it done. But you could always find uses for another can.

Outlet and hose

I already replaced my tank with the s550 Mishimoto. It fits just fine.

The Mishimoto tank has an outlet under the cap and comes with an extra hose for it.

The original pumpkin tank has a relief outlet there too, but no hose. It's more of a slot. So, if anti-freeze drains, it's just directed straight down

Where should that hose run or connect to?

On the installation video, he connects it to something out of sight. However, the video is for a regular Mustang.

I could connect it and let it hang, but then it'll be flopping around near fan belts and fans. So, real options are--

1. Leave it off

2. Put it on and let it hang, but cut it to about 6 inches

3. Put it on and let it hang, but zip tie it to something


Just read the following: "Overflow nipple on fill neck allows for installation of additional NHRA-mandated overflow reservoir"

No plans to install overflow reservoir, so still in the same position.

Experience/advice welcome

I attached it and ran it straight down, then through a hole in the belly pan and put a thick o-ring on the underside of the belly pan to keep it from pulling back up.

I don't expect to drag race the car, so not worried about an additional overflow canister.
