Wow, thank you for the reply with the pics! I'm glad to hear the OSC version worked out. Question, in you 6th pic of the "box" containing the heater core, how well supported are the hose attachments coming through the firewall? a budy of mine a while back was helping with my engine removal and before I could stop him he was putting too much force taking off the heater hoses by hand (I would cut them off and not take the chance of damaging anything) now the pipes sticking out are a bit tweaked and I have to worry that he broke something. Copper is rather maleable so i can bend them back into shape but who knows if he cracked the tube anywhere inside the car?
