    I plugged a piece of 1/4" tubing onto the short internal overflow tube and used a razor blade to cut the tubing off near the top of the tank. This raised the internal overflow height by about 2 1/4" inches and increased the effective tank capacity from 33 oz to 41 oz, by my calculations.

    The larger expansion tank installed with no problems other than I had to drill one new mounting hole in the radiator frame.

    The new tank does not interfere with closing the hood so it looks like the Falcon is good to go.
