Hi Kev although mine is not a subaroo engine I have mounted my header tanks (2 of em out of rover 75) in the back of the van. I've drilled through the floor and ran pipes up to bottles mounted just on the side by the rearwindow. Advantages you can see if they are about to over cook. Disadvantage if you over cook you get a bit of a wet boot.

Just make sure the expansion bottle is higher than the cylinder head or it can cause drain back and crack the head

Shouldn't be too difficult to achieve that with a scooby lump
