Fw: <VV> Weird Heater modification - acco/gleaner combines

[werp knarly]

acco/gleaner makes air cooled combines. they run a oil line to the cab and 
run it directly thru a heater core to heat the cab, works almost to well..

Thanks!

>> Hey guys,
>> I have been thinking... and yes, I know it's a bad habit, but...
>> For Corvair cars that never came with an a/c unit (I have one) I've
>> been thinking pondering and wondering if the following would work:
>> (Purists plug your ears now)
>> Buy an after market a/c-heater unit. Vintage air makes a great little
>> one that I think would be the correct size.
>> Remove the plastic tunnel. Take an oil cooler unit or two and build a
>> muffler into a heat exchanger. Build or open an existing muffler and
>> remove the baffles. Then mount the oil cooler unit inside the muffler
>> housing. New directional baffles would probably need to be made. Run
>> soldered or brazed lines through the end walls of the muffler housing
>> and connect the lines to hose that would then run through the tunnel in
>> place of the plastic tunnel. Into the passenger compartment and up to
>> the vintage air unit. Place an inline electric motor that is switched
>> so that it only circulates the water when you want warm air. Maybe a
>> small reservoir unit might be needed, I don't know.
