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?

you would also need a fan or something to convince the warm air to go into a sealed (sort of) cabin instead of out the normal path to freedom. Either that or run with the windows down and that would kind of defeat the purpose.
It would be almost as easy to install a small radiator in your fresh air blower that would be tied to the in and out hoses of the main radiator and use that as a heater core. or you could plop down the big bucks and get a renegade heater system that actually works right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Naw, I'm too cheap too. |
