Quick Coolant Tank Swap Question

I've been looking for one of the front (radiator) mount coolant overflow tanks at the 'yard with no luck, however a MarkVII Came in that had one~Would this bolt up to a fox bird?

Heres my old overflow bottle i think you can order it form 50resto. Sorry i am not sure if the mark one will fit.

i paided like $18-19 for it easy to bolt in added it over a year ago might have to drill just one hole might get a 2nd one for my new car.

1987 T-Bird AEROBIRD-GT had many many mods but is now totaled and is the car that made me want to start customizing everything all over again.

Just got back from the 'yard, needed a few small things~Of course it starts pouring right after i get there...

They got in a new '87 (funky options, CFI V6 auto with premium and power everything, power recline seats!) and it had the front/side radiator mount coolant tank on it! so i snagged it.
It actually pretty much looked the same as the one on the markvII.

Looks like i lucked out :hick:, Thanks though vinnie and pimp.

Np my old mechanics still got a few mustang parts so i am going to try and buy them out to fix up my new 88 Bird and to help with the 88 XR7 so thanks for the reminder and the other one is black so it would blend in nice for my T-bird.

I just went out and test fit it, Looks like i'll need to drill and thread the middle and lower bolt locations.
But the upper mount has a notch along with the bolt, and it fits snuggly and perfectly aligns the unit into place, like it was meant to be :hick:, just need to thread the hole.

This is the style im using btw:


Looks like i'll need to take the bumper cover off to drill the holes, already had the header panel unbolted, which made moving the tank around much easier.
