Bob,
It would probably work. You could also use the A/C condenser in front of the
radiator for an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler. By running the oil
through the cooler first and then through the radiator's built-in tranny
cooler, it ads to the total cooling capacity of the system.
The stock factory heater should keep you warm down to at least 20 below. My
old 56 Dodge did back in the 60s. I didn't think it got that cold in Oregon?
Do you really want to drive it in weather where you would need 2 heaters?

So today I was putting in a new electric vane-type fuel pump for my 313
poly, and there was all that aftermarket 70's A/C crap in the way...... and
I suddenly just had to RIP it all out. Everything looks just SO-O-O much
better now. But then I thought...... you know, the underdash unit has such
a great blower on it, and I could just plug those hoses from my A/C system
into the heater system in about 10 minutes, and it's all designed to take
high pressure hot-gases-then-cold-liquid, why not lower pressure hot
liquids? So that's my question: why not just put hot water through that
system and turn it into a secondary heater, which is much more important
than A/C to me any average year in Oregon? Would I get the flow rate I
need? ............ Boy, I think I might be sorry I asked this! Bob in
Lebanon Oregon, where it's been blowing a gale all day.
