Anyone know of a way to add electric heat and defrost? I have no heat exchangers and instead of adding them Id like to come up with a way to add some heat with electric heaters. The car will not be driven when it is very cold out.

Power requirements would be too great. Power in watts is Current (amps) X voltage. P=IE Say you have a 1200 watt heater - think hair dryer. Divide 1200 by volts (12) and you would need 100 amps. Not only large alternator, but some pretty large wire to supply the heater also.
SSHE's and a good blower! Tom |
