In Search of 411-412 Heat Exchangers

Bob Ingman · Post by **Bob Ingman** » Fri Sep 26, 2003 11:28 am

I would like to locate a set of heat exchangers for my T-4 powered Thing to eliminate the bus heater boxes I have currently. Anyone have an extra set (of matching diameter) ? Good luck. Bob Ingman

Bob, Try Bethany Auto Salvage in Oklahoma city. Also...try Oklahoma foreign...which has had probbaly 1000 914's go through its doors. Its on I-35, in Moore Oklahoma in case infromation asks.

Kerr Automotive in Oklahoma city probably has NOS on their shelf...they have everything else Ray

ray where are you at McAllister?
The 914 units are not the same. Need 411/412. They have gas heaters and the exhaust is like j-tubes with sheet metal covers. Good luck. Hope you get out soon. Bob Ingman

Ah..yes..the heat risers. If I had spare ones...i would make you a deal. I am working on accessing a source I have in Oklahoma city. They have literally hundereds of them. But their doors were closed months ago. All is still there...but they only will go in by appointment. Since i am 240 miles away in Dallas...it gets hard to do. Actually...I am in Dallas. The prison thing was humor...sorta. Ray

Well Ray then you know and understand why I asked for equal diameter units. You see my location? Compared to me you`re right down the street from these guys. If you hear of anything let me know. Thanks and good luck. Glad you were released.

Hey, what are the differences with the heat exchangers? Why are they different? I thought the engine was the same basically or is it closer to the bus motor? Thank Bill

Bill the difference in the exhaust between the bus engine and 411/412 engines is that the 411s were equipped with gas heaters and did not use the heavy finned heat exchangers. They are more like J-tubes with sheet metal covers. I have a T-4 powered Thing (which also uses gas heaters) so its a good and cheap way to get T-4 J-tubes.Good luck. Bob Ingman

Oh I get it I think. The bus has a different exchanger because it needs to hold the heat because it doesnt have the gas heater just air heat. So it is actually thinker then the 914/411/412? Does the bus only have those fins in side the exchanger? I thought i've seen the j tubes on ebay. Thanks for the info, Bill

Bob:
Do you just want the headers or do you want em with the sheet metal installed on em? With my latest find I posted about ive got both. My hand is much better since the accident during finding the stash. Next week I will be starting to dig things out and bring home. I still want to check out your VEEP when possible.

Thanx ahead Bugmunn!!
