The 1988 Escort w/ A/C seems to be pretty popular.

The "Big Momma" is a 1988 Fiero core. It's about $30.
A 87 Chevette heater core is basically the same but only $17.
I don't know what size the fittings are on the Fiero's but the Chevette's has a 5/8 OD Inlet and a 3/4 OD outlet.

By taking out the single bottom 3.5 slide out bay of my MidTower case, I can fit it in the front bottom.

The Escort heater core's fittings come straight up instead of horizontal like most, but it is only $15. It's a bit taller than the Chevette core tho.
