1984 Mustang GT 5.0 carbureted. Has anyone relocated the windshield washer reservoir on a carbureted 5.0?

Post up a pic of your engine bay.

There are several different Fox style reservoirs. You could switch to any of them that you have the room for. Any Fox reservoir will use a body hole that is common among Fox cars. You'll just need to run new hoses to whichever one you use and wherever you put it.

I’ve only seen two fox reservoirs, the dual and the one mounts inside of the fender. I can use the inside fender option because I’m using the factory dual snorkel intake. Are there others besides those two?
