okay, my heating system is marginal at best...i still freeze when driving and full heat.
i have seen some examples of ceramic heaters offered online from various retailers, so question is how well do they work? |

Don't know the prices for one of these, but a Espar B1LC heater is only 14x5x5.5 inches, I think that could fit somewhere in a 914 engine compartment, under the back trunk, or in the front trunk. Would 7500 BTU be enough to heat the 914 interior? With the prices of original Heat exchangers @$2200/side, and marginal heat/fit of aftermarket 914-6 units, a set of headers and one of these heaters may be the way to go on a conversion. Anyone done one yet?
