With all of the recent cold weather my thoughts are
turning towards how to best heat my aircraft cabin.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a heater core,
perhaps one made out of aluminum? One that puts out
enough heat to warm a 4 seater cabin when it is -20F
degrees outside. I would welcome all suggestions.
Thanks,

I decided first that I wanted about 6 x 6 x 2 heater core; then went to the
local NAPA store and looked through their catalog of heater core until I
found what I wanted; except it is copper instead of aluminum so it is about
1/2 lb heavier. It is for an older Ford van, I think about 1977.

Got a centrifugal blower from Lincoln Surplus, built inlet and oulet plenums
out of fiberglass.  It mounts behind the rear seat in my Velocity.
