I don't see how this can be done without removing the heater boxes on the later engines. Any hints or work arounds?

Well, you can remove the heat exchangers on these models without disturbing the headers to cylinder heads so no risk of pulled studs. You'll probably need new bolts for 3 bolt flanges but that's easy. Good luck

Dropping the engine support bar also helps tremendously in getting the heater boxes unbolted from the header pipes. It's just that this is a major pain compared to the earlier cars. I thought there might be a secret sauce method to it that I'm not hip to ! Thanks |
