Has anyone ever done this? What was used for the heater core? How were the coolant lines run to the heater? I'm in the Northeast, and heat is necessary if I want a driving season that's more than 4 months long.

I haven’t done this but have looked into it. JEGS and others sell a small box with a heater core and a fan. I would hook it up to the existing wiring. Mount the box in the trunk and drill holes for water hoses and one for heat. Split the heat tube inside the engine bay and route down to the heater tubes. From there you just use the factory controls to route heat down or up for defrost. I think this would be an easy solution.
With a Subaru engine you might be able to mount the whole thing in the engine bay. |
