does your car have aircon? are you going to use it? if not use the aircon core instead as a heater core

Ive done it but 25 years ago and no pics. Turn the heater core upside down, Drill new 30mm holes in the case & firewall, plug the old holes, done...

I tried this, only problem was air was always hot, never cold, regardless of temp position.

Went back to proper outlets, and cold air worked again.

did you still use a heater tap? I've seen it done on an xg with a 5.0 in it and it worked a treat

You still need a tap on it. Haha. Should work fine with a tap.

[Mr Polson 10,214]

Yeah, had a brand new tap. Same one it has now.

 

Maybe I have a dodgy A/C core or something? Or the tap was in the wrong hose?

 

If you want to connect heater hoses to A/C core you need to reduce the hose size down for one of the hoses.

Just the core, not the whole box?

Where does that relocate the holes to?

I thought the Clevo fit, with a slight massage of the firewall, behind the right hand side rocker cover. ?

No I'd like to keep it nice no bashing etc just redirecing

ford the heater use 90 degree elbows where it exits into the bay

[Scottee XDFwreck 42]

The heater core only not the case! the tubes come out at the top of the firewall, just like the XD & XE does...
