I have headers (of course) and was thinking I could install one of these directly into the factory ducting:

The P.O. installed an electric heater in Elvira. If I turn it on at night, the headlights dim by almost half.
It does put out a reasonable amount of heat, but the real problem is air flow. The only time it adds any noticeable warmth to the cabin is if the top is off and both windows are rolled up. |
