Heater core repair.
Well I got the heater core out on the weekend, and was able to get the heater valve rebuilt, but the local rad shop wants to charge $500 to re-core the heater core.
A) Does anyone know of a shop where I can send my core in and they can repair it, and send it back?
B) Is there a core from a later model that will fit, with or without modification?
c) What other 'fix' options are open to me?
Trying to find an option that dosen't involve spending $500:

You'll have to do some more looking--but you should be able to get a good or new core for a lot less than that. It's been a hell of a long time since I've had any radiator work done, but that seems like a lot to me. My **** you could come close to a brand new main radiator for that!!

ouch! have you tried e-bay? I don't buy from there, but you can find a lot of "hard-to-find" parts for really cheap on there, or so i've heard LOL
I gave my old heater core to the scrap metal people, along with the original radiator (oops!) **sigh**
Thats crazy, I got a brand new heater core from autozone for $26 for my car... holy **** @ $500.
I'll keep an eye out for ya.

Thanks for the help!
