Has anyone built their own heat exchangers for a six conversion? It would be so nice to have a little heat for those cold mornings with the top off...and some defrost for rainy days...but I can't see laying out over a thousand bucks for manufactured exchangers. I have a friend who is a master stainless fabricator but we need a plan and some guidance...what works and what doesn't. I'd like to retain as much access to lower valve covers as possible and I don't need tons of heat. Engine is a 2.4...headers are pictured below. Thanks for any insights offered.
