Look at the sticky at the top of this section for how to. Heater core can be purchased at FCP and IPD about 150.00. Will need new o-rings ect. Not a bad job, just time consuming the first time. Search other posts and see if it is something you want to attempt.

If it's not too late, would suggest you go with OEM on heater cores and radiators; usually that's Behr.
