Heater core interchangeable tween 63 dart and 63 Valiant

[Hideogumperjr]

Hi guys, I am putting my dash and firewall back together and figured I should replace the heater core now that it is easy to do and not wait till I get it all back together and new carpet etc. and when I need it for heat and then it blows up.

I am seeing varying pricing on it around the net and I found one for $40 new but it only lists it as for the 63 Barracuda and Valiant and not the 63 Dart. In other sites I see it as being interchangeable with the Dart and Plymouth.

Can anyone verify that the 63 Dart and 63 Valiant/Barracuda heater core are interchangeable?

Thanks
John

According to the direct interchange the 63 Valiant heater core wasn't used on the Dart until 1965. The first Barracuda didn't come out until 1964.

Can you make it fit? I have no idea. The Valiant heater core is only $35.99 at our Oreilly's.
