I found several older copper cores which while they were a perfect fit, they failed a leak test. I ended up with a newer aluminum core from a BMW, IIRC. If you have access to a good TIG welder and learn how to weld aluminum you can easily modify the ports to suit your needs. If you choose a copper core then you can easily braze it with solder. S.
