Can anyone out there give me any recommendations for a heater to use in a Gen 3 65 Coupe? What will fit?

The only one that I know of that has been able to fit is the Vintage Air unit sold as a FF heater/AC upgrade.

Unless something changed, the optional heat/AC system Factory Five sells for the Gen 3 Coupe uses a Siroco evaporator (has heat and A/C) and a collection of other parts. May be some Vintage Air parts in there. But it's not one of Vintage Air's packaged systems. Looks like the picture below. Based on my research when I built my Coupe, couldn't find anything else that fit in the available space. It works ok for A/C and pumps out lots of heat for those times. If you only want a heater, not that I would recommend that, I'd consider heated seats only. With the closed cockpit, might be ok.

If you have side windows the AC is required if the sun is out, not sure if I have ever used the heat.

I may not use the heat much but, living here in the high humidity northeast, we really need the defroster.
