When using an aftermarket over flow is there a particular style that is better than the rest? Do they need to be pressurized or can they be the aluminum cylinder shape ones from eBay?

I need an over flow tank and something small like the cylinder shaped ones.
Is there a style or particular kind that works better than others?

Overflow for the Radiator? Depends on how you have it setup to be pressurized, or not to be.

If your radiator already has a radiator cap on it, than you should not need a pressurized overflow tank. If your radiator does not have a cap on it, and there's no other cap on the system, than your overflow tank (now called a "surge tank") will be pressurized and does need a cap.

I'm using a F body radiator which has a cap so I can use one of the cheap aluminum cylinder shaped ones?

Should be able too, just install it and plumb it correctly.

I didn't know there was a wrong way to plumb it.

You just run line to the cap of the overflow container, run the hose through the cap to the bottom of the over flow container right?

That will work, I meant from the Radiator.

Speedway Motors sells a nice stainlees steel tank thats actually a recovery / overflow. Not just over flow.
