Does anyone with an LS swap recommend something nicer than the original plastic OEM one from a 2002 Silverado?

I'm not an 'LS swap guy' and maybe you've already decided what to do. But since nobody has answered, I'd do a search for LS swapped projects and just see what they did for coolant overflow. Most of my new product information comes from reading about projects. That said, what I've seen often is the long aluminum tube bottles mounted on the core support next to the radiator.

I too haven't found a real nice oem looking solution either .. Maybe others that have found something will post pictures of their setups.

Not sure if you've found something yet? I used a tank I found on eBay. $35
