The heater core I found came from Northern factory sales in Willmar, MN.  It measures only 7" tall x 7" wide, and has a built-in 2 speed electric fan.   
 
Pretty neat looking unit.  How much does it weigh?  Are you going to put an inline solenoid so you can shut off the water flow when it's 100 degrees outside? 
 
  I showed him the oil filter housing from my 13b, and he is designing a 90 degree adapter that will bolt right onto the existing plate where the oil filter housing once fit, cutting in O-ring grooves, then using the original oil filter base that came with the engine, creating a lower profile oil filter, by simply laying the filter down at a 90 degree angle.  
 
This will be interesting, but unfortunately, won't help me.  Bruce cuts off the oil filter appendage on most of his aircraft engines.  If this works out well, there may be little reason to make that mod to the housing, though I still probably wouldn't have had room for it.  
 
Keep up the good work.
Rusty (who will I work for after March 31st)
