General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / Heater core help
When I was looking into doing my heater core, lots of guys here suggested getting a new old stock ford core. I followed suit. I figured the original one that was in the car lasted 26ish years. The only downside was that my heater core cost $85 on ebay...because theres so much freaking copper in them.

Wow, I really like the look of your bird! Looks A LOT like mine (white paint, black trim, red interior)

Engine Tech / AND NOW!!!! It's a 1hour or less heater core
Hi guys,
I put a new core in my tbird last week. I did the same as jcassity did.

Just some things i noticed:
1) The sheet metal for the firewall is really thin. Like less than .060 in thick. So I wasnt worried about structural integrity after I noticed that.

2) There is A LOT of plastic that needs to be broken/cut/removed from the back side of the HVAC box to get the core out. I spent half an hour just chipping away a little more here, a little more there.

3) I actually got the old core out without pulling the fuel rail off.

4) You can almost get the new core in without moving the fuel rail, but the fuel pressure regulator gets in the way. So i did have to pop that off. PS a claw hammer works really well for prying the rail up

In the end i think this is a much better way than going from the interior. Cuz really once I got the new core in, I knew I was home free :)

LEADS on T-Bird/Cougar Stuff For Sale / Are these both base Birds?
Quote from: MY83T;441718
These cars could be ordered in crazy combinations.  You could ala carte every option that a élan had and it would technically be a base bird still.
Both appear to be base birds although very well equipped ones.  The black side mirrors are the dead giveaway as badges can fall off.  Elan's were made through 86 model year and always had chrome side mirrors.

But I thought my tbird was an elan. It says so on the black trim that goes around the whole vehicle...but I have black side mirrors. So im not sure thats a "set-in-stone" kinda thing
