Has any one ever modified the doors or anything to make heat come out of the dash vents ? Can it be done ?

I've looked at the plenum several times. No, not easily. It would require a completely different plenum design.Jim DeAngelis

Defrost forces all the heat out of the window vents (top of dash) which pretty much heats the upper area. You feel the heat on your face which fools you into believing you are warm.

NO
unless you can rig a flame thrower from your vents, but thats a different forum

it's the same plenum. AC just adds an evaporator to the inlet side of the plenum, right behind the glove box.Originally posted by elcamino1 View PostJim DeAngelis

solenoid valve in the coolant line...Originally posted by FB71 View Post
Another plus would be that (I assume, never seen an evap case) there would be room for a much bigger heater core.89SX funtop! Fully loaded!

gate valves don't stop all heat transfer. Ask owners of Lincoln Aviators...Originally posted by stefan View Post
the evap cases are fairly small. Evap is about the same size as the heater core.Jim DeAngelis

Why? Is it just because of cheep factory valves not completely stopping coolant flow?Originally posted by FB71 View Post
It would be better than nothing... and it would mean... DASH HEAT!!!!
It would be worth the effort up here.89SX funtop! Fully loaded!

coolant on either side of the valve, in very close proximity. Heat still transfers.Originally posted by stefan View Post
It might be beneficial in the Great White North! I don't really miss dash heat down here in Merry-land...Jim DeAngelis
