Fedco 2-224 heater core $29.98 at PartsAmerica
arrived as a Transpro equivalent.

Not as perfect as I'd hoped for (a bit too short a straight run before the bend) but as there were straight runs I went ahead and used it to replace the be-cooling one I had in there.
It works fine, shroud fits fine, overall height, including tanks, is about .25" shorter than the be-cooling one.
I made the swap without dismounting/remounting the waterblock (potential source of variation), used the same hoses, pump, fans, etc.
I am seeing the exact same temps reported by my CPU diode (offset for current room temp). I know diode temps are a bit of a fantasy, but I'd like to think that the same temp reported by the same diode on the same CPU on the same motherboard really is pretty much the same temp.
Ohhh Bob
your HC looks amazing ! nicely finished with no bends visible perfect for painting ! looking good, I think i will just go ahead and order tha thing.
I will update you as soon as i get the thing
