68 427/390 heater core
The heater core is leaking in my 68 427/390, NO AC. Have any of you had any success replacing the heater core from the engine side on an early C3? I recently did the heater core in my 65 and had to remove the passenger side dash to access it. Not looking forward to this.

Someone on here fairly recently (2 years maybe) did it from the engine compartment side and had pics. I thought he also gave step by step directions. It looked a lot easier than doing it from inside.

I did it years ago on my (then) 1979 but a BB may be different.
