Smearin's car had the HiFlo kit, like mine, seen here...



Theres another local guy that built a similar kit using a log style manifold on the passengers side, and a flipped truck manifold on the drivers side, his screenname on here is h21surfer

I have mine too in the where the battery was.
I had to get rid of my overflow.
I have an overflow from a honda right now, curious what overflow you guys are using if you removed you stock reservoir.
