Antifreeze EVERYWHERE!!!!!

[Hambone85GT]

I had a small antifreeze leak but it wasn't bad so i just went to get some fuel because i was running on fumes, and on my way back to my housei noticed a small trail behind me. So i parked it and shut it down and then it jsut came gushing out, it was running down the midpipe on the passenger side. Also i had some antifreeze comming out of my vents inside. Thinking maybe heater core? I was in no shape yesterday to do any fiddling so a I'm going to try to take a better look tonite. If it is the heater core what kind of trouble am i getting into. Is it fairly easy? I have a 5.0 H.0 1985 gt manul trans. The engine is almost completely stock just have a new carb thats it. Also i was looking into crate engines. I heard about adperformance, anyone know anything about them? Well thats enough ramble thanks in advance, i can get picks tonite if needed! I've already posted this on FEP but i just wanted to get as many mids on this as i can, Thanks!

If it's the heater core that's leaking, the easy cure is to bypass it by disconnecting the two rubber hoses from the core and inserting a u-shaped piece of pipe between them.

There's really only 2 probable places for it to leak back there and I highly doubt one of them. The heater core or the freeze plug in the back of the head. I highly doubt it's the freeze plug because it would have to spray inside of the car somehow.

the heater core is easy in that car i had an 86 gt. pop the glove box out and its right behind there. no need to take the dash off.
