Does anyone have an idea of how much volume increase I would expect to
see in the liquid between ambient and operating temps?  I'm using dual
GM evaporator cores and have a 1.5 quart fill tank with a 1 quart
overflow tank.

In a liquid cooling system that has no *non-condensible* gas (i.e. air), the pressure will rise due to thermal expansion of the liquid, until it gets to the pressure relief value of the cap, at which pressure a small amount of the expanding liquid will go into the overflow bottle.
