Just wondering if everyone is using water for cabin heating or the exhaust type?

Greg;

 

I chose to use the coolant for cabin heat.  I found a nice 6”x 6” heater core in a catalog at NAPA, bought a centrifugal fan from Lincoln Surplus, and built the housing out of fiberglass.  Flexible ducts carry the heat where I want it.  Wired it for 2-speeds using a resistor that is air cooled by the air inlet to the blower.  Also installed a standard automotive cable-operated valve in the coolant line to adjust (or turn off) the coolant flow.  Works great.
