I've been looking around at stuff for my first watercooling project and couldn't figure out what to do with the non-dimension numbers either. Well luckily I got help in this forum so I'll help you out
You don't have to worry about the "Num" and "Page" numbers (as far as I know), they aren't relevent to your searching. The "Core Num" stands for the Fedco part #. The "In" stands for that heater cores Inlet pipe (where the water first comes into the heater core) diameter and the "Out" stands for the oulet pipe diameter. Once you know what Heater Core you're interested in, you go to this site and enter the Fedco # of you heater core in the "Part Number" box. Then you select Fedco in the drop-down "Manufacturer" box and click continue. All you want from the resulting numbers is the "GDI" number. Copy that number and go back to the first page. Then enter the GDI number in the last box you didn't do anything with before. This will take you to a drawing and give you the measurements of your heatercore. You can also use the GDI number to search by part # @ autozone.com.
I found that some of the Fedco #'s won't work in that "Cross Reference Look Up" just to let you know.
Oh yeah, one more thing.... I can't reassure you that cutting holes in the top of your case isn't as difficult as it seams because 1. I've never done it before and 2. I'm just as scared about hacking my CoolerMaster case to fit the heater core lol.
Good luck .
