ac evaporator box

is it possible to replace the right side of the box(part without the blower motor)with the motor still in the car?the engine is a 455.

 

Yes, but expect to take a lot of time. You will need sealent to seal the two halves together and to the firewall. I like to use windshield butyl seal as a sealer. You can get a 15 ft roll at Autozone. I get the 3/8" diameter.

 

Forgot to mention, you will need to roll it between your fingers to get the diameter to 3/16-1/4"

 

See thread about DIY projects you hate to do... This will try all of your patience and I suggest if possible,remove hood for better lighting as well as more room.It isn't going to be a 10 minute job,but patience will help you get there. George is correct about the butyl too. Good Luck.
