I am finally to the last stages of the build and looking to route the IC lines. I have a spare window washer bottle from a 99+ that goes in the fender/ bumper since the 97 has the washer bottle that sits on the battery area. would it be stupid to use the 99+ washer as a preliminary reservoir before the hot coolant gets to the pump and potentially drop a little temp there before the FMHE cools it even more? I know this is a stretch of the imagination but I think it is worth some consideration since the 97 also uses the coolant bottle location for the cooling system that I used on the 03 as the reservoir. Any other clever Ideas are welcome but worst comes to worse I may mod a 99+ coolant bottle and fit it in. I am open to suggestions or thoughts.
