I think I see big hassle in my future

Mike... It is a  shoot... no matter who you get the core from, just look at the solder joints and decide it they are up to par or not...

If they look thin to you then add some to it...

its not that hard to do

When I finally breakdown and do mine, I plan to add the copper brace between the hoses.  Pulling my engine is what killed mine (I think when I disconnected the hoses, they were pretty stuck).

Get some stock copper from the hardware store and sweat solder it on.
My car is a gravity hybrid.  The gasoline engine gets me up the hills, and gravity gets me down.

I'll be doing mine in a couple weeks too. Can't wait.

I got an AZ core that's been sitting around, in the box, for about 1.5 years. Well, Have fun, see you on the other side!!!

It's a 2 hour job if you follow the directions on Coolcats.  Be sure that the restrictor is put back into the core inlet line...

Will do.  My brother got a Ford one from Green auto sales for 80 + 10 shipping.

Just trying to decide which one to get.
