There are really a few options:
1) Bypass the heater and buy jackets, and leave them in the trunk for all the people you may have in your car. I live in Florida, and I also have gloves.
2) Try a radiator stop leak. Might work for awhile.
3) Hire someone to do it, probably around $500
4) To get to the heater core is an all day job. It requires taking out the dash to access the device. The core itself is only $20, the labor is impossible. The core is on the passenger side, behind the glove box, behind a black encasing that holds both the heater core and the AC evaporator.

How do you change the heater core on a 1986 Ford Thunderbird?
My heater core went out in my 95 Thunderbird about 3 months ago. Unless you know a ton about cars, you're gonna have to take it to a mechanic. It will be anywhere from $400-$800 to get it put in. Sucks since it's a 20 dollar part. But you gotta do what you gotta do.
