Default Best replacement heatercore manufacturer?

Need to fix my heater core. I can smell anti freeze in the cab and if I'm going to spend 3 hours taking the dash apart I want to only do this once.
I've found about 5 or 6 different manufacturers of heater cores like Valeo Vista Global and Spectre to name a few.


Who do you, my fellow XJ'ers think makes the best replacement? Money is not an issue unless you tell me Mopar at $250. Then we have a problem.

Mopar for $226?

The aftermarkets seem all about the same to me, I've never had problems with NAPA cores.

I just did a quick search on Fleabay. That's where I saw the $250. Wow an whole $24 less! I'll buy 2! Just kidding.
Still too much for my budget.

Thanks. I'll look into these.
Taken a few dashes out of scrapped XJ's so I know it's no fun.


What did you do about the foam pieces? Looking for them online right now.

Somehow I don't think I'll be as lucky.
