I just sold an Eberspacher type BN4 I used to have in
my 69 Westfalia (RIP) originally imported from Germany. It
was mounted on the driver's side of the engine compartment.
It did have an in-line duct like you describe that was
rectangular at the firewall to circular at the hole cut in
the drivers side of the storage area. It also had a piece of
sheet metal mounted at the exit to deflect the heat across
the front of the storage area. Kept the van real warm too.
On high it put out 4000 kcal/hr of heat ( equal to about 5
hairdryers blowing on HI)
