Heater core in the cabin just like a car was my first thought. All those
other thoughts came later. After all your comments and more thought I think
the ideal system would be to have the heater core and the fan in the cabin.
(At first I was trying to avoid coolant in the cabin since I can still smell
leaked coolant in my Mustang's carpet when it's warm outside.) Then I would
just need two holes in the firewall for the coolant hoses. But looking at
the available space on the cold side of the firewall I don't know if there
is enough room. I am excited about the comment on using a computer fan

That's just about the way it was done on the Subaru installation with a
computer fan. If you watch Harbor freight they have them in various sizes on sale
for about $4 USG periodically. May I make a suggestion though, instead of a
heater core (really flimsy) that's why you'd smell coolant in you're car, use
an oil cooler? Same principle but more rugged.
