Heater Core Installation

Hunt_chevs · February 19th, 2008, 07:29 PM

i need to install a heater core because my fox doesnt have one. However i dont know how its fastened in the engine bay so my question is ,... can someone post pics of that area by the firewall so i can see how the fittment/ fastening is etc...

so after further investigating i seemed to believe the heater core is in the firewall???

any help with this install would be excellent

I don't believe the core itself mounts to anything other than the firewall and the hoses coming out of it. The core itself sits in a box under the dash. If your car does not have one, there may be some other parts you will need as well. Like the others said, good luck...

if your only going to be driving the car in the summer i wouldn't worry about it.

I replaced my heater core without taking the dash out...u just have to loosen all the bolts, have some one lift the dash up and feyness it outta there. It is a pain in the ass tho lemme tell ya.
