Reply to "1-1/2" Heater Boxes- and Real Heat"

I would be surprised if anyone is making a 1 1/2" heater box with an aluminum finned core. Check out my ordeal in Technical (building a new exhaust system). It is near impossible to recore the aluminum core to a larger size..be it 1 1/2" or 1 5/8". It IS possible, but I wasn't willing to pay the cost and none of the machine shops near me wanted to do it. The cores from old heater boxes are really a work of art...very impressive. Since, over the next few years, I really wanted to produce some healthy horsepower, I wanted a 1 5/8" system. Otherwise, I probably would have gone with a system from BAS or CSP. So, I'm ending up with 1 5/8 " hollow heater boxes. George says his works great... but he has a fan (I think). Still, I keep on looking at these aluminum cores.....
