i hate replacing heater cores in new cars.
give me an older car any day.
the caddy and el camino are outside the passenger compartment, so its a few screws and a couple of hoses.
no tearing into the dash

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel when I get something complex to work on...
I'm doing an ATX-MTX swap for J.Scullin (Newcougar.org) in about a month, and can't wait to do that!!

Fun, Fun, Fun! lol E350 kicked my a$$ today. Did the upper and lower ball joints, front break lines, pulled the gear box and spent hours trying to get the arm off it to put on the rebuilt with nooooo luck.. It's fused bad to the shaft, heating, hitting, swearing, and hitting again didnt' do crapp-a for it. I was going to take it home and drink beer with it, and try to sleep with it...

It was alot of screws. But after about 7 hours (no rushing this one, first heater core in my life) it was back together with a new core. I'm sure a contour about the same.
Here it is all ripped apart.
Look at that engine, two intakes....
Me trying to remember how it goes back together....
Ah That looks about right.

Wow, that's impressive! Were it me, I think there would be a dozen screws left over and a car that wouldn't start. 
if you dont have left over fasteners, you did something wrong!

Naw you could do. I say if I can do it anyone can. Just have to note what your doing and where it all hooked back up. Good thing they key the connectors lol
