The 911 heat exchangers will provide plenty of heat, this is no type 1
engine he is talking about!

I must disagree! The 1.9 TD is MUCH simpler to convert to, and HP is not
what is important, TORQUE is. The TD can make as much torque, if not more,
than the 2.0 gasser. (disregard the book specs, the TD uncorked and with
proper adjustments is much more powerful)  Hill-climbing at low rpm's will
be better with the TD, the usable torque band is wider than the gasser.

Of course, these are only my opinions..........
