did your car have/had a/c?
if it HAD or HAS a/c you got a core, just hook the heater core hoses to the old A/C core, put your switch to cold to get heat! and heat to get cold, that's what I'ma do when my core takes a dump.
the A/C core is meant to hold over 50 PSI I think so the coolant pressure should be just fine on it, not sure about the heat what that will do but it's meant to be more extreme than the heater core I think, it's worth a shot!!! just lengthen the hoses some, boom boom done you have a new "heater" core that's 3 times stronger than your old heater core, and it's bigger too which means you'll get MORE heat on them cold days!

i ended up dumping my scort when that happend to mine last time round. I know it was a royal pain to undo and replace. Just be aware that if you start to disconnect it, it will dump coolent into your car. I didn't think that it really ran radiatior fluid into the core. I always thought it was a blow by system.

ha ha it's like the epic story of "THE CAR, who would not give up and go with out a FIGHT"
lol that's pretty funny actually. "no don't take me out coach, I can still race" as oil pours out and all mangled up.
good stuff lol
yeah that heater core will be like a 40 dollar part max, and take maybe 3 hours to rip apart and 4 hours to put back together, it's really not TOO bad.

well I ran my car all out and my water pump took a dump, pour coolant in it pukes out the front of the motor, so that water pump is coming off today
goodie goodie.

well last night i went to remove the hoses to by pass it and the whole copper hose came out with it! so at least i had something to connect the two hoses with, i noticed the bolt on the top of the dash is gone so someone did this before and left bolts out hopefully my dash wont crack to much more either.
