When I bought my heatercore it came with odd barbs, too long and not the right size. I cut them off at under and inch. Then I soldered on a 2 barbs. MMZ_TimeLord suggested filling the radiator too, I'd never thought about it before but it would definately protect you from desoldering.
JBWeld. The key with KB is letting it cure. Trying to rush it will make a mess and a poor connection. I've never had a JB joint fail in operation. However I have had a few of them pull apart as I tryed to take the hose of the barb. In other words I pulled the barb out of my res.
