one thing you must keep in mind. the prices listed on autozone.com are not necessarily in-store prices. the in-store prices are regional. For example, it's $24 for the '87 Chevette heater core at my local autozone.

Click to expand...

Assuming you have all the tooling necessary, you will probably pay about $20-$30 in materials to build 1 spiral waterblock. That's at standard prices you'd pay at Lowe's/Home Depot. You can find deals sometimes and get stuff cheaper.
