Anybody have some good advice on how or what to fashion a water heating plate out of? It's for Fenton's and Tom Langdon has recommended the water vs. exhaust setup as have many other folks on this site. I am already setup with exhaust heat since that is what the headers came configured with. But I have not seen a water setup and I am having problems imagining where to start or what to use to fabricate the plate. Please chime in with any suggestions. Thanks. 
Whad you do?!?

I used 3/8 steel tubing tee'd off the heater hose fittings on the water outlet and water pump. Works fine.
One note - my Offy intake had core plugs in the bottom that leaked like a sieve. I JB'd them and have had no problem. Check before you fill it all up with anti-freeze. | | |
