Long time OC'er, first time here.

PetDMC, I bought my Chevette core at a local wrecker for $20.

It has two 1/2" pipes after a simple mod. One is 5/8" or so, but it's just flared from the 1/2" pipe. Cut off the larger part, and you have 1/2" in and out. (@ 90 degrees to the core)

The only bad thing about wrecker cores is the CRAP that's in a 15 year old cooling system. I took it to the car wash, and pressure washed the fins and tanks. Then I ran my pump through it, taking turns on inlet/outlet, while shaking the thing...sand, rust etc. ran out of it for awhile, but it's good as new now.
