Don't currently own a air-cooled Vanagon, but- living up north here where
heat is a fairly serious concern, and air-cooled vans being generally less
expensive (I might be on even a tighter budget than a lot of the list :) )-
has anybody tried using an oversized oil cooler as a heater core?

Not thinking of routing the oil all the way up front, of course- just maybe
in the same location as the core under the back seat like in a water-cooled
van.

The obvious problem would be overcooling the motor- but maybe that could be
compensated for in the thermostat?

thoughts?
