Electric Heat, Any good way to add it? Options

[914fun]

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.

In my car (kit 904) it's mounted in the right front fender with 3/8 rubber hoses
feeding it. You should be able to mount it in your engine compartment with shorter
hoses to the taco plate and valve covers. It only has oil in the lines when you turn
on the pump it drains back into the engine when not in use. I used the heater lever
to turn on the pump and the hot air blower.

Doesn't this make for oil levels in the engine vary tremendously? What about using check valves in the lines to keep them full to help keep engine oil levels consistent.

How much does this cool your oil temperatures? Maybe you should have a thermostat in the oil to control when the pump will be allowed to run.

The oil level doesn't change that much as the oil is always flowing, also the is a low
volume and pressure system. The system uses less than a 1/2 quart of oil if that much. My oil tempature drops as much as 30 degrees when in use, mine is also
set up to cool the oil in the summer with the pump on. I have over 20 ft of oil lines
in my car from the engine to the front fender.

A check valve was not installed as the engine runs better with a 1/2 quart low oil.
