Replacing Heater Core in 87
As the topic states..........I need to replace my heater core in my 87. Can it be done from the engine compartment, or do you have to tear the dash down. Thankyou for your advice in advance.

Its done from the inside and is a major pain. It has been said that GM starts with a heater core and builds a car around it. In my view it is the most difficult repair in a Corvette. Not rocket science by any means just hard to get to. Good luck.
