I may have found some late model SS exchangers for my '75 2.0 car. They are being sold as such anyway.

Being that I've never seen '75 2.0 SS exchangers for sale ever before, can anyone confirm if they exist? And would it be easy for me to tell in a photo if they were for a 2 liter engine?

Thanks!

why bother upgrading at all...


I knew I would get that response after posting that pic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/alfred.gif)

Originally I thought that I wasn't getting any heat in the cabin due to bad exchangers, so I enquired about the ones that were for sale. Now that I've looked at mine and they look ok, I thought that upgrading to SS would be nice, and an added power gain- but I guess that would only come from backdating them. My heat issues must lie elsewere, and I'm not sure where. I'd like to see photos of '75-76 exchanger/air guides/pipes to longs photos installed. Everything looks in tact on mine at first glance but it's hard to troubleshoot mine any further at the moment as the interior is out of the car for floorpan repairs (including pedal cluster) as is the battery.

My '75 1.8 I had when I was a teenager definitely had SS heat exchangers. The outside casing/tubing was more squareish than roundish.
