   Depending on *where* he locates the core, and where the air source is,
it shouldn't be necessary.  In a recirculating heating mode, turning off the
fan should be sufficient.  One could even install a "dump" flapper valve,
to take cabin air through the core straight to outside, providing a
small amount of additional cooling.

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.
