I'm facing a 1,900 mile trip to Tennessee for Christmas so my girlfriend can see her folks, and my '83 Mustang GLX has a heater core with a busted off pipe. The repair man said it would take two days to fix, since the whole dash has to come out, at a cost of $250. It's going to be 15 degrees or so, so in an emergency for a heater, I looked at the firewall on the passenger side and found an oblong hole there that now houses in and out a 3/4" water hose, that loops from the heater water ports to the inside floorboard. That 200 degree water should heat us up nicely, and if it gets too hot I can put a blanket over it. I can't see why it won't work in a pinch.
Thoughts?
