Best way to add heat to a Subaru conversion? Options

[CptTripps]

I would like to add heat and defrost to my Subaru conversion, but I'm not sure the best way to do it. Now, I'm no expert on the ventalation system of these cars, but I was hoping to have something simple like 2 discrete motors. One for the vents on the dash, and another for the defrost.

The stock heat blowers are intact on the car, but I don't believe they're hooked up at all, since the PO had a SB350 installed. That motor is going bye-bye, and I'm not sure the best way to add something to replace it. I don't need fire shooting out of the vents like my Land Rover, just enough to get the windscreen clear and take the edge off of a cool night.

I see a few aftermarket blowers that I can put in-line with the heat tubes, but how should I GET the heat? Is thee a way to do it from the water in the radiator?

I have a unit that came in a Rotary conversion. I think it's similar to the fresh air vent Mark is making. Except it had oil & water filtering through it. It also used the stock fan. Kind of fugly but very functional. Also pretty easy routing as it sits in the engine bay. So short lines going to your motor.

With this setup , you are pulling air from the engine compartment , not exactly non-ordorus . Getting fresh air to the inlet would be a little less smelly perhaps , but a easily doable system as it appears .
