hi. 1970 fastback with a 72 engine. trying to figure out how to best purchase and assemble so my heater boxes and channels will work. i have recently purchased an aftermarket exhaust from cip1
https://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACC-D-1013
i am going to be purchasing new heater boxes from ISP
i obviously wont have the heat exchangers that come with a stock exhaust. what is the best way to route the piping so everything will work with what i have. also curious on how to hook up the fresh air intake as well if that is possible. i have searched bentley, haynes,etc etc and cant seem to figure out the best way.
thanks

I used 18" long sections of aircraft ducting from www.AircraftSpruce.com to hook this up. It is supposed to be good for 500 degrees heat.

great custom idea. am i correct to assume that by adding that ducting just adds airflow thru the heater channel. if i was to cap off the fan shroud and top of heater box, would i still get heat but just not as much flow? |

No that is not correct. The only source of air for heat is via the fan shroud. If you cap off the fan shroud outlets you will have zero heat. _________________ 1965 Volkswagen 1500 Variant S
