Just had a thought whilst working on my Type 3 conversion. What do I do about a heater once the EJ20T motor goes in? I know the EJ22 is popular in the buses so is there a way to keep a heater? May be a stupid question!

1971 Type 3 Fasty - EJ20T

I love 242HP sleepers. 🤪

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 😂 UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list.

I thought you were joking then saw your location...Move to sunny QLD and get airconditioning instead. Have no idea actually but shoud be easy enough to hook something up😉

all you do is get a toyota landcruser ( troop carrier ) ( PC ) rear floor mount unit and plumb it up .You can run ducting to the windscreen as well .

Subaru setup is not standard. Just make sure that the heater & vents you choose work the same was as the Subaru one - Eg. the water must always be flowing through the heater core regardless of whether you have the heater 'on'. You open/close the air vents to control the amount of heat entering the cabin.

easy mate - just plumb in one from Pick N Payless to the front half of your cooling system. Plumb it in 'parallel' to the radiator. Then use some 12V boat bilge blowers to 'power' the demister... 😉

just put a heater unit in your boot and hook up the factoy ducts. In the kombi I used a modified 60 series heater, plumbed into the the factory ducts.
