A VW Rabbit heater core is a close fit also. Had to trim the plastic shroud a bit, but it works fine. The Rabbit core is metal, not aluminum and plastic.

Cost: $25.00 for the core and $0.85 for the valve. Just go into an auto parts store and have them bring out heater cores until youfind one the same dimension (nearly) as yours.
