anyone ever thought of welding multiple fins on one to make a crude heatsink out of the outside? because really a tank wouldnt normally need to be bigger than a few hundred cc I would think

Something akin to the older engines that had air instead of water cooling right? You'd need a pretty decent airflow (depending on the tank material and its ability to absorb/lose heat) to get it working properly. From the pics I've seen of surge tanks, usually they mount them in pretty tight spaces, ie between the diff/fuel tank, which means that the airflow is limited to one side as well.
Still... seems like a really good idea in theory. I've seen your conversion Sam_Q and know your pretty handy with a welder. Why not give it a go? On the downside though, it'll probably add a lot of outer width that could have simply been used as extra cc's in the tank.
Eddie.
