How much space between gas tank and floor? Options

[914turboford]

How much space is there between the gas tank and the floor on a 914? Due to the high cost of fuel we are planning on bringing our 914 out of winter hibernation to lessen our dependance on my wife's Blazer. Since the car is liquid cooled I am thinking about using heated air coming from the radiator to heat the car. I want to put a duct running from the front trunk to the interior foot well passing under the fuel tank. Does anyone know how much room there is?

I do not think the air coming off the radiator is going to be as warm as you think
it is going to be. The air flowing over rhe radiator will not be heated enough to bring heat into the car.... You may end up bringing in cold air rather than warm air.

there is someone else on the list that is heating up his car in the same method, sure it might not be as toasty as having the heater core right under the dash, but it works

if the radiator setup is done correct, most of the air should be flowing thru it....there will be heat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
