For those of you considering a heatercore from a car as a radiator for your new watercooling projects, I've put together a database of FEDCO heatercores that allows you to search by size ranges (L/W/D), lists tube sizes, provides links to pictures/prices for each part found, and also gives you a cross-referencing tool for finding what vehicles your ideal core can be found in (for picking it up at NAPA/the junkyard).
Example: you want a core that is less than 6" tall, needs to be less than 5" wide to fit your case, and the thickness doesn't matter. Punch in 4-6" for length, 4-5" for width, and 0-5" for depth, and out pops: #2-563, 5.625"x4.75"x2" with a tube size of 5/8". I click on the part number to look at a picture, and after I chop the extraneous tubing, it looks like it'll fit perfectly! Since that'll work in what we're looking to do, we punch the part number (2-563) into the cross-referencer, and find that it comes from a 1972-80 Chevy LUV truck. Searching is just as easy as that!
Let me know what you think:
