Ummm, yeah! 
Sorry, but I don't get it. The simplest, most elegant solution that you know will actually work, not to mention is invisible ...nothing to futz with when you just want to add heat; pull a lever, done! Plus, all the parts are available, most of them used as folks are ridding themselves of those items when they track/race prep their cars. A set of SSIs will give you great performance and roast weenies at your feet if you need to (should you get hungry after that long canyon drive
).
FWIW, I decided to keep my heat and blower (at the engine) on my Trackmeister for comfort, and it's a minimal weight penalty. I ditched the footwell blower (smuggler's box) and ducting to save that weight. All in all, I have plenty of heat whenever I need it. Easy.

RUF on its Yellowbird used a petrol heater installed in the front. Not sure how good they are though or even how much they cost!
Maybe run the oil lines through a small Heat Exchanger and then use the blower for the cabin????

They put leather on my dash and not on my seats 
.. Nah, the dash leather won't shrink in the sun 
They know what they are doing. 
But seriously, i know the heatexchangers are the best option... I just need to get it fixed.. i get that already
