Yes, it will be up to you to rig a heating system. The easiest method will probably be to find a donor setup from a wasser powered Vanagon. Get the front radiator, fans, front heater core, pipes and anything else that looks good. Another option is to use the Porsche 911 6-cylinder for your conversion. I will probably cost the same or less than your 5-cyl setup, and you can hook up the Porsche heater boxes to your existing system. TomC tcarrington@relitech.com
