Thanks guys for the information. So if I have 2 heater cores would it be smart to replace both as the repair is a bit labor intensive? Also I was reading and came across an article where someone indicated that a brass/copper aftermarket heater core should be used when replacing. Anyone able to chime in on that?

You are over thinking matters here by worrying about the rear core. If it is leaky it is a separate job.
Purchase the best available parts you can afford from a vendor you trust. Responsibly maintain your cooling system going forward. Do a thorough search of this board and benefit from the experience of others.
For me, the hardest part of this job was moving my fat a$$ away from the keyboard and getting started.

Just the opposite is true. Aluminum heater cores and radiators transfer out heat much better than the copper or brass ones do.
