HVAC All Apart....need help buying cores

Looking to see where you guys are buying replacement evaporator cores and heater cores? I have everything apart and cleaned from a mouse infestation. Might as well replace both core units....any recommendations on brands/units? Rock auto basics or other?

Thanks
Rob

I can speak for the heater core and you want to make sure you use the one with the 2 humps on the top. like this one from Spectre.
This is the aluminum replacement Classic Ind., and of you notice the top is flat across it. This one needs modification to the support strap. You can see the added Velcro thing to aid in the install

Bummer. I ordered the Spectra double hump as suggested. I'm going to pressure test it before installing. This is not a fun job to get in and out.

Thanks guys
