Hi,
There are many things that can cause a no-start condition. First, we need to determine if it is a fuel, ignition, or both related issues and go from there.
When they replaced the heater core, they had to remove several things from under the dash, including the heater box, and plenum. See pic 1 (I highlighted the heater core). When this was done, it's likely that the wiring was damaged.
What I would do first is to see if the vehicle starts for a couple of seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know if it is a fuel-related issue. If it makes no difference, then likely ignition spark was lost (or both were lost).
Here is a link that explains how to test for ignition spark:

Let me know as much as you can as far as what has been done, checked, or anything you can think of that will help me diagnose the issue.
Take care,
Joe
