<VV> corvair oil cooler/cabin heater?

[Mark Durham]

Ray, just a guess but not sure there is enough heat btu's in the oil at
the flow rate used by the engine for oil, in comparison to the volume
of air required to heat the car.
the oil heats up quick enough. But a lot more btu's go out in the air.

I've thought about re-routing the outlet air from the current cooler so
it dumps out the back of the car to stop it from going into the lower
shrouds with all that hot cylinder air, tough to get the oil much
cooler that way.

But I would like to see any data to support or refute your thought
process, though. Mark Durham

Hi guys,

     A friend and I were chatting and got to discussing the possibility of
creating a Corvair engine oil cooler system that would double as a heater
core for cabin heat (either to supplement or replace the direct air
heater).  It seems like it would be easy to design something like this and
we were even wondering why GM didn't go this direction with Corvair heater
systems.

     Anyone have any input on this or just want to discuss the possibility?
