As a heater, it would be second place to the primary heater which is the 427 sitting on the other side of the firewall. It can bake a turkey in the passenger foot box.
Mine's a 289 replica, so sounds like I can count on maybe baking a chook

I've done that maybe twice in 15 years.
I'm using 12V defrosters (yes, a registration requirement), and at this point I'm not considering a top with side curtains, so you guys have answered my question.

Back to you Mike.
