I have no idea. Maybe that is worth asking?

Most cores are like you describe above?
I shot of an email to partsamerica asking for more information.
Yep, I've had 5 HCs including a procore and they all have aluminum fins, copper passes, and brass or copper tanks except 1 which was fully aluminum. Now that I think of it, my 2-342 might have had copper tanks. I'm not positive because I sliced those long copper tubes off and painted it black the first day I had it

I assume you made a shroud for the 2-342. How did you go about doing that? The only thing that is scaring me away from it (other than the possibility of it being aluminum) is creating a shroud for it. The chevette cores have the advantage of having professionaly made shrouds.

I've got two of them sitting on my desk. Throught he process of hacking the crap out of them for some heavy duty mods, I know for a fact they are copper/brass. The silvery looking stuff on the fins is solder.
It might be that parts america has an aluminum version. Why take the chance. Get a Balkamp from NAPA.

Hmmm... I get 29.99... but same part number.
I tried the same procedure at Napa, and it worked... and it is only $18
I wonder why it is cheaper than a chevette core?
Thanks for the help

Well I sent another email to parts america and they finally got back to me and told me they contacted the maker... the Fedco 2-342 is indeed a fully copper/brass heater core. So I guess it was a false alarm.

MrMosfet, do you have a link for the Napa site? I get $29.99 for both Autozone and Napa. Thanks.

Ahhh crap!
My eyes played tricks on me..... I was looking at the part name and when my eyes moved over I must have skipped down a line.
