Thanks, Al.
I assume your heater assy is mounted inside the cabin behind the rear
seat?? Does the fan inlet get inside or fresh air? How?
Interesting about the oil system flow. We are not consistant with
this flow on the list. Counting me, just on todays disclosures, we are
evenly divided 2 and 2 for where in the system to place the filter and
cooler.

Bill;
Here is a photo of my heater system.
The centrifugal blower came from Lincoln Surplus for about $6.95. The housing I
made by carving urethane foam mold and laying up fiberglass. The core
came from NAPA.
I looked through their parts catalog until I found a core that is about 6
x 7” (I think from an old Ford van). From the collector side
housing, two duct carry the heat to blow forward from under the rear seats.
It puts out a lot of heat.
From your other posting :
I think the oil filter is supposed to be the last thing before the engine.
Best they are placed before the
cooler. Keeps sludge from building up in the cooler over the long haul.

Those of you who installed coolant heaters for
cabin heat…what did you use for your heat exchanger? I am looking
for something and I don’t have much room to install it. I need
something small. What did you use and what are the dimensions if you
remember? Lightweight would be good also! [:>)
