Ummm, yeah! ![jumper](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/jumper.gif)
Sorry, but I don't get it. The simplest, most elegant solution that you know will actually work, not to mention is invisible ...nothing to futz with when you just want to add heat; pull a lever, done! Plus, all the parts are available, most of them used as folks are ridding themselves of those items when they track/race prep their cars. A set of SSIs will give you great performance and roast weenies at your feet if you need to (should you get hungry after that long canyon drive
).
FWIW, I decided to keep my heat and blower (at the engine) on my Trackmeister for comfort, and it's a minimal weight penalty. I ditched the footwell blower (smuggler's box) and ducting to save that weight. All in all, I have plenty of heat whenever I need it. Easy.

RUF on its Yellowbird used a petrol heater installed in the front. Not sure how good they are though or even how much they cost!
Maybe run the oil lines through a small Heat Exchanger and then use the blower for the cabin????
