i am going to build my own,, junkyard parts and a old army munitions box you can buy a heater core at adavance for 19.99, for a camaro

Any decent radiator shop should be able to repair the original core.

Or spend a lot of time on Napaonline.com
searching for heater cores for various cars, until you get lucky.

daBay!

Kruzer,
I've seen quite a few really kool heaters on daBay... some over priced but some that were pretty reasonable. Worth a try... good luck!

Southern Rods carries a basic heater for about $110 & one that defrosts too for about $120.

used parts

I'm thinking perhaps the heater unit out of a small foreign car - That's what I'm going to look for - they usually are entirely under dash, and how big can they be to fit a tiny Civic or Corolla?
