So, in the quest for some sort of damn heat/defroster I was curious if this could work.
In the really sh*tty diagram below, a coolant recirculation system that cycles coolant through the muffler to transfer heat from exhaust to coolant so it can be used with a heater core to supply heat/defrost. I would expect that the tubing passing through the muff would need to be more than a simple tube and more likely an array of small tubes in parallel to better transfer heat. Is this feasible or should I gently place the crack pipe down and call for help (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) Attached image(s)

How about running an oil cooler on the front grill vent by the dash, and putting the vent box under it or surrounding it for your heat. Add a fan, and some levers to close it, and you have adjustable heat...
That is what im going to do with my sbc. |
