It's in great shape. The fan motor runs fine, the fiberglas box in vrey 
good condition, no cracks or damaged mounting holes, and the fabric/foam 
lined air valve (OFF HEAT DEFROST) not much worse than new, somehow. No 
rust inside, and I washed out all the bugs, pine needles and antifreeze. 
Cables all work...

I'll probably do this. The core is usual size, the nipples go 90 degrees 
from the core and are 6" apart. The only odd thing is the angled mount, but 
JB Weld will make those work.

If a make-it-fit solution is more than half that cost, I'll just bite the 
bullet.
