ok got some more work did on the heater tonight.... got the blower motor in the mail today , its a jabsco 3" Blower motor intended for use in marine applications .
put some screen on the intake side so nothin gets into it while its runnin..
here it is mounted up under the dash it clears the glove box no problem and was easy to mount with the included bracket just had to drill 3 holes in the dash
3" flex hose installed
this is a pic with the glove box closed so you can see the clearance
got the blower resistor mounted on the side of the box
all hooked up
this is what the firewall looks like just gotta get heater hoses!
i tested the blower motor out it works great its pretty quiet, i think if i insulate around it that i could make it really quiet.....its not as many cfm's as stock but i think it moves plenty of air for my needs...all in all im pleased that i finished the heater build for under 100bucks . the blower was 70 the 3" duct was 12 and the flange was 5 bucks, all purchased on ebay
