I purchased an old Eberspacher gas-fired heater to install in my conversion car. It could be done, but I eventually went with heat exchangers as I know they’ll bake you in a -6 if properly working. Now that they’re available through Porsche for the -6 (or some beautiful stainless ones through mb911), I don’t know if it’s worth the hassles of designing and installing a gas or diesel heater. Used SSIs are seen often enough for the -4s as well (though do need to be tested for cracks). There are photos of a system installed in the front trunk of a 914, but I’ve never heard of anyone that actually has seen one.
No matter what system you choose, be sure to keep a CO detector in the car as any leaks could kill you.
I had a friend that had a brother get killed in a motor home from a heater. Went to sleep and never woke up.
Family was never the same.

Aircraft Spruce sells a little button CO2 sensor that you can stick right in the center of your tach.
They only last 18 months from opening the pack, but they're something like $7 each.
If you sleep in your car you want something with an alarm.
Leaking heater box can kill you just as fast as a gas heater. Likely won't kill you in a moving 914, the top leaks too much, but CO2 poisoning is a bitch.
