Wow! You are Meticulously Detailed . Thank you for this info it will be very helpful putting my buddies car back together . I'll see you on the G body forum. BTW I subscribed too.
I wanna say thank You For you in depth Break down of This ive had tons of vehicles food Delivery 20years ive Always wanted to do this Stealth So now you help me to understand more im going to do this on my 1984 delta 88 👌🏿
It will be interesting to see how you get the 455 to fit with the air box. I had to give up my air,. I have a solid lifter cam so need to pull of the valve cover once a year to adjust the lifters, stock heads with stock height covers you MIGHT be ok. You do nice work.
@@JDP15 That's a small block though. All the dimensions are the same as the 307 and 350. The BB Olds engines (400, 425, 455) are a little taller and wider (SB 9.3 deck height and BB 10.6) (SB 12" wide at intake base and BB 14").
Actually, that seal was my own creation to force more air through the proper channel. Not sure if it was needed (since the factory didn't think it was), but I did it anyway. The resistor is actually in the air stream between the blower and the Evap. The seal I installed has nothing to do with cooling that resistor.
I know this was a video you posted a while ago, can you please tell me what you used to get that unit so clean, 2nd what was the paint you used, i know i heard Eastwood but didnt get the rest. Im in the process of doing this on my 86 GN and i must say you have made a great video and an awesome job. Thanks for making this video!
Where did you get your HVAC seal kit? I really like the front foam treatment on the evap. I can't find that type of kit anywhere. Can you help? Great videos by the way! Thank you!!
HA! That's exactly where I was looking at. After commenting here, and upon closer inspection, I saw the foam pieces that fit the evap! Thank you very much! We are simpatico! You have really detailed videos and they are nicely shot. Great work! I really enjoy them!@@hutchhiperf
Ahh, it looks like I am going to have to forget all forget about air conditioning when I cut the box to fit my 455 with tall rocker covers (the stock ones fit). The condenser is in the way. I will fiberglass the "hole" I have to cut out. I'm not in the south, so not critical to have AC.
It has an upside down "T" for lack of a better word. It slots into the housing one way. Turn the old one clockwise until you can pull it up and out. Put the new one in and reverse the procedure. They used to be rare as hens teeth, but are repro parts now. gbodyparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=3147 Here's the white clip that the rod will snap into (if it's missing) gbodyparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=410
Also notice that for the blower there was no seal. Does it now need one as I had one originally but can't seem to find a replacement. If you have one can you share the part number. Also would be super helpful for us guys if you added it in the description. Love the videos! I have hooked up all my stuff with your help but the blower isn't turning on 🤨
I've only ever seen a gasket for vertical mounted blower motors. Ours is horizontal (sits on top) and has no gasket. You could use a small bead of butyl rolled out thin as a sort of seal if you want. It was designed with no seal though,
Great Video! What aftermarket evaporator did you use? I'm using? Have you noticed the evaporator sits a little higher causing fitment issues with the top? Thanks!
@@hutchhiperf Thanks for the reply. I am using a Four seasons as well, I played with it a little more and measured. I think it will fit. I do see I need to bend the tube going into the Dryer. Thanks again for the great video!

Thanks. I have a set of old BB covers that have the indents in the back for the A/C Box and MC. We'll see how they fit. Fingers crossed :-)
I have a 403 in my 86 442. It fit just fine for me

That seal you installed on the ledge on the inside of the fan was to cool the resistors so they would not overheat.
Actually, that seal was my own creation to force more air through the proper channel. Not sure if it was needed (since the factory didn't think it was), but I did it anyway.

Possibly, with more extensive box modification, you could angle the front edge of the condenser away from the engine.
ok, EVAPORATOR...
Did you repaint the whole box? If so what did you use
The exterior, yes. I used Eastwood's Under Hood Black, same as the firewall.
Your high speed comes from the relay. I didn't hear you mention it. You can buy from Amazon for lik $15
True. I didn't mention the relay. Only that it supplies full Batt Voltage to the motor. Good point. I'll make sure to mention that on a later video.
The slide connector for hot and cold the plastic swing arm that sits on top of the box. How does it fit in the box.

I used one from Four Seasons. It fit well, but the pipes had to be bent a little to make it work. th-cam.com/video/2efA4cICzIE/w-d-xo.html

@@rq6884 No problem. Post back with how it went.
hutchhiperf Everything went back together nicely. Thanks again.
@@rq6884 No problem. Glad to hear all went well!! Here's hoping you're freezing in you ride in no time :-)
What type of Mechanic shop would do this job?
Where did you get the new heater
a/c box I have looked everywhere for one but no luck
The box came with the car :-) If you mean the seal kit: Mikes Montes
U didn't seal the bottoms at 13:50 and now the water is pouring in from the rain. I think the gum seal from the kit goes there
What size butyl tape did you use?
Can't remember. I say in here th-cam.com/video/eVs0b2bDTDE/w-d-xo.html
Where can a g-body a/c heater box be purchased from or repaired from crack? I've swap 3 engines and my box looks terrible.
Repair the Crack yourself or find a donor in a yard near you. Maybe ebay.
@@hutchhiperf what do I need to repair the cracks and holes?
