I think you can just buy a new heater core for the application rather than a repair.

Get a Haynes manual or something similar, they have instructions in there. Changing it out isn't too bad, just lots of shit to take apart and not a whole lot of space to work with. I didn't take the dash completely out though just pulled it back, not sure if it would have taken less time if I had just taken it out or not.

What year stang - Do you have AC - if not the dash doesn't need to come out of fox bodies. If you've got AC - the dash needs to come out. My son and I did ours, looks hard, but it's really only time consuming taking everything out.
