Subject:Re: Need help with project for front heater core

Does this mean I am unable to replace the core in the front of my van now?
They are not made by any other companies?
This is one of the projects on the list to be done in the next couple months
to get our van ready for summer. I was really hoping to
replace both front and rear core when we install the new motor in a couple
weeks. That way with the radiator,all new hoses,and
long pipes underneath the entire system would be new. No contaminations from
the old system to deal with.
