I am about to do the heater core job in Ol' Anabelle. I have heard tell of high-horsepower panther owners replacing Autozone/Advance heater cores up to 3 times very quickly. I want to get this job done with one that will not fail until many years from now. What would you recommend?

check with a reputable radiator shop. They may have a source for a better core than the replacement ones from auto zone etc. They would need your old one to attach the end tanks to the new core. The ASP underdrive pully and a flow restrictor in the heater line will help also.Scars are tatoos of the fearless -
Or put a bypass hose in front of the heater core, so less water can can go to it.1989 Grand Marquis LS

easiest way is get a good heater core and do a restrictor in line to keep pressure down on the core. Ford heater core or CarQuest heater cores i heard are the better cores to use.
