Completely understand the burnout. It happens. I'm actually excited again for my project. A year ago..? Nope. I even contemplated selling and "inmywhisperedvoice" buying another old Chevy muscle car. I think you'll feel a whole lot better once you get into that 363

Dude I feel ya there. I have the coyote itch again and am half tempted to sell, but the wife says if I can wait until we pay off her car, I can have my cake and eat it too. Can I wait a year? That's the 64,000 question. But maybe prices will keep coming down another grand or two by then.

I thought about a '15 when they were coming out also. I personally couldn't swallow 40k purchase price for a vehicle that I can't drive year round. But with you never having to worry about salt/snow etc and I assume will be looking at a 11-14' model, it would be very tempting.

I've gone over a few different scenarios in my head, but I can't get financed on a vehicle older than 2007. He wants my car for his son and I was trying to make it work. Oh well.

The one I put in a month ago had the restrictor already installed in the hose. I bought the lmr hoses.


@MikeH686 it's supposed to limit the pressure inside the core to help prevent failure.

This... I've seen them installed on the wrong side LOTS of times. These go on the inlet side of the heater core.

Nope got the LMR one it's all metal with metal tank ends not like the cheap parts store with plastic ends

Are still taking about heater cores or are there Ford radiators available someplace?

I don't remember what mine is but's solid welded with no BS, 3-core. All I remember really is that did not want one from China because it was so hit and miss.

I run an OEM core. Only other thing I would have considered doing is running an aluminum core since my rad is aluminum. When I needed it though, I already had OEM heater core on hand ( I was still being indecisive). It was car that said, "Make up ur effin mind bozo".

Nnnnniiiiccceee....


If I wasn't up to my armpits in half finished fox, I'd have one..

I stood in front of one just the same color in 04 at McRee Ford in Dickenson Tx. and aaalmost did it. The deal breaker for me back then was the 40k price tag. Krazy how the prices have climbed.. ugh, I feel old now..

Man I hear you, my car has been a 3 year quest, I bought the car and the motor imploded within a 1000 miles, built the new motor had tranny issues, got it back and had over heating issues, then ignition issues etc.... Out of the 3 years working on my car I've been able to drive it 1800 miles. Each time something went wrong it had to sit in the garage until I had money to fix it and the wife left me alone. I'm hoping now with the work I'm doing I'll finally have this thing beat and can enjoy all the time and effort I put into this thing.

Not to hijack your post, I can just sympathize.
