<VV> The 3 Greatest Corvair Improvements

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Well, why not an exhaust heated heater? I would think there's MORE than  
enough thermal energy there.

I  would have to add some kind of heater/defroster improvement. Since the   
"Fresh" air (haha) heater was used on 61's and later, it applies to  earlies 
and  
lates. Perhaps some kind of sealed heat exchanger could  be used to provide  
filtered & heated air from somewhere other  than out of the underside of the  
motor. I realize the cost (both in  dollars and gas mileage) of the gas 
heater.  
Even ignoring the CO  output of exhaust leaks, and the hard-O-ring oil 
dripping  
to the  exhaust manifold, the "Fresh" air system still passes along any 
engine  
compartment smells - whether due to leaks or anything else. There should  be  
something better. - Seth Emerson
