Heater blew

Post by Chaseman »

We all probably have it blow at one time or another. Anyways my question is if there is a later or bigger heater core can be put in. Cause I'm looking at prices and my little heater core is like $58 bucks while a massive 71 torino's is the same price and about 4 times bigger.


Thanks

My local Checker Auto Parts was $25.00, and Autozone was $30.00. They both had the heater core in stock.
