I was trying to find a past article, where someone had used a Ford oil cooler, I think, in where the fresh air blower is, to use for defrost/heat?

It wont provide much heat, especially compared to heat exchangers.
Oil isn't the best and conductor of heat, you will have to wait till the engine warms up for the t-stat to open, etc. It's been done on bugs and is marginal at best, might fare better in the smaller 914 cab and still should work better than any electrical solution. If you have a water cooled go for it, put a heater core in. Another method would be to install a gas heater, bottom of the frunk, China espar copy diesel heater kits are cheap. I'd do this by welding a 3" pipe into the gas tank to run the hot air feed thru to the cab. This is how Porsche did it on the 914/8. |
