Unknown heatercores, opinions needed!

[deltawing11]

I found photos of these heatercores and could eventually get them. No idea how much they cost (yet) and from which car they are. Hope I will find out soon. I only know they are from european car and they are copper/mesing.

core1 (first photo down)

dimensions: H:180mm x W:190mm x D:50mm
(H 7"x W 7-1/2" x D 2")

core 2 (second photo)

dimensions: H:375mm x W:170mm x D:40mm
(H 14-1/2"x W 7"x D 1-1/5")

Any suggestions how could they perform just by looking? Fins look pretty dense and the tubes are closer together per inch compared to standard american heater core. However I can't guess how they compare to standard heater core. Any opinions welcomed...

Thanks for replaying SlaterSpeed, I feel better now :-)
No idea really for the UK. I have yet to discover from which car they are. I hoped to get some opinions from the forum members but no luck till now :-( I will post if I have more infos.

Oooh... The single pass one looks nice and massive. Too bad the barbs aren't on opposing corners... They both look like they will be great performers, if a bit hard to fit.

I wonder if there is a big (significant) difference in a single pass core when the barbs are on the same side compared to the diagonal (opposite) arrangement. Maybe it is important but maybe not, but only that is a single pass I think is a great stuff.. I am sure they will both perform very good, I only dont know how restrictive they are. They have thicker fins arrangement and more tubes per inch compared to 2-342 or Caprice core. Its hard to say without testing. The bigger one can get 3 120mm fans which is not so bad :-)
