I think I will stick to Redheads way of doing it, initial bit of messing around re elongating holes etc, but a better result over all with no modifying the firewall, and I do want the ar con to work.

Thanks for all your input Fellas.

I wouldn't recommend hooking the heater up to the A/C condenser.
I done it on my ute for a while, and the air from the vents was always warm, even if the heater selector was on cold. Switched back to normal heater outlets and it worked normally.

Move the engine forward?

easy conversion dont cut shit ,,get a die grinder ,elongate the holes on the engine xmember forward, then get cleveland engine mount platesan elongate holes to the rear 1 inch on both parts, with the heater hoses stick a small piece of wooden dowl in them an gently pull upwards being careful not to break or split them, you dont need to hit cut belt the fire wall just leave it alone ,you will however have to get rid of that stupid fire wall pad, and trim down those long heater studs,
 
you will need to get power steering hoses made
 
use v8  xd xe radiator or xf 2x core heave duty radiator
 
if u need more info please ask as ive done this conversion heaps of times ,

one thing not to forget ,make sure you fit a full metal jacket scatter sheild as this will save a life if the box goes boom,

Does it use the the AC? If not run your heater hoses through the ac condenser.

I don't want one cheers mate.
 
 
Cortina for life

Cheers mate, if I have no luck , I'll be in touch.

on the right hand side around the vent just above your feet  itl be rotten full of rust an ford in the wisdom put the only planuim drain on that side ,i hope for your sake its only got mud n shit built up in there ,but ill go with rust and rott

Pull out the plastic gaurd on the inside wheel well and poke the end of the hose in the cowl drain to make sure it's not blocked, remove cowl cover & look in side for likes of dirt, leaves or a rust holes
