As an option to clear congestion at the rear of the block. You might consider converting to a BB heater core
It moves the hoses over near the inner fender well in stead of behind the head .
I am assuming you might have a SB set-up now. 😜

You could just have the leaking one repaired?

I bought a copper core one on rockauto. Been in the car for a few years now. No issues. It s about 1/4" thinner than the stock one so I had to bend the stock retaining clip down a little. My understanding is replacements are a little thinner but otherwise present no problems
I removed the inner suitcase for the swap. Outer suitcase remained on firewall. SBC
My $.02 about having a 50+ year old heater core "fixed"....what does not leak after fix can soon follow as the rest of it is still 50+ years old

They re-core them and then pressure test. They do not "fix" them by soldering a leaking spot. I ve had them re-cored by Glen-Ray. I save all my heater core and radiator tanks from cars I part out. We hade a radiator shop at our old bodyshop. Build up the solder on the neck bases.

Be cautious of heater cores by TSM and maybe others with poor solder joints at the tubes. If you get one with minimal solder at the joints, get solder up better. After reading my old post, you will know why.
