If the shutoff valve isn't, the core will get warm.  Otherwise I don't
think the engine will influence things much.  However, the rear heater
never gives you fresh air under any circumstances, it just sucks it in from
the sides and blows it out the front; so it will never be cooler than cabin
ambient.
