$300 includes a new heater core, set of heater hoses and clamps. All parts, but clamps, are factory Ford and come with a dated receipt for proof.
86's are $350.
PM me if interested.
I'd need the car for about 4 1/2 hours in Rohnert Park.
If you have A/C systems that work I can keep your systems in tact.
I will not install aftermarket (non Ford) heater cores. This is for your sake. When I first started these installs I did one on my own car and one for someone else. Both failed in less than 18 months. Have installed 10+ (factory Ford) heater cores in the last 2 years and have not had any fail as of yet.

does that include install?
cause 250 seems much when i can buy a new heater core for $35 @ autozone..hoses and clamps from ford is pricy .so i roughly spend under $100 for parts and 150 labor correct?i know install is a bit*h.that brings my questions.

Have you ever priced it to get it done at a shop? 250 really is not bad at all. It takes a lot of time to pull the console and dash and get it back together right. If I needed it done I would pay 250 in a minute so i would not have to do it. I think from reading his post it includes everything all parts and labor.

Autozone/Kragen/PepBoys heater cores do not hold up well AT ALL from my experience. If you compare the parts with the factory Ford part I think you'd agree for the money and time the job takes, do it right the first time, rather than save $20.

I took the time to replace one a few years ago and used a Kragen heater core. It lasted 2 years. I have a few tricks that make the job a bit easier but no matter what the center console and dash have to move and thats not an easy task. This is by far the best deal I have seen.

The 86 and older stangs are alot easier than the 87-93. I did one on my 85 stang back in the days. You don't have to take the dash out. You just remove the glove box and heater box to get to the heater core.

This guy does top-quality work and is worth every penny...not to mention he's saving you $300 or more.
I'd recommend him to anybody who needs a heater core.

That method only works if its a non A/C car. Trust me, I had an 86 GT with air and it was just as hard as an 87-93.

I also had A/C on the 85 and that is what I did.

If anyone is interested, SF Coupe brought a bike in the back of his car and went and saw a movie while I worked on the car. There's things to do in the area while I give you a working heater ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
