Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts.....I am confused regarding radiator versus evaporator cores.  
 
Welcome to the club :-)
 
I have found an evap. core that measures 9 x 13 1/2 x 4 5/8" thick. I believe that comes out to a total area of around 561.  
 

Here are dimensions that I measured from one of Ed's old cores. 

 

 Overall dimensions- 13.5” x 9” x 3-5/8” 

Core dimensions-  10.5” x 9” x 3-5/8”

Volume of water it will hold- 39 oz.  
 
As you can see, the core is 3 inches narrower than the outside dimension, so if you were quoting outside dimensions, your core would likely end up being about 437.   
 
 
I don't know if the 5/8" inlet/outlet tubes would be too restrictive to flow compared to a radiator that would be made with 1" NPT inlet/outlets?   
 
5/8" ID (if that's what you meant) might work, but it will be on the small side.  For reference, some folks are using AN-12 hose I believe, and that would measure pretty close to 5/8" ID.  Believe it or not, measuring the actual ID of an AN-12 hose was on my list of things to do today.  I have measurements for most other sizes.
