Yes as the mounts for the heater are where the bulkhead box is so you need to move them to suit.

the heater sticks out a fair bit mind...
I ran a 'van' heater for a while - not that efficient, but took the chill off, and had the pipes for connecting to the screen deminsters

Mines a van heater with the motor on the front, keeps me nice and toasty to be honest, must of got a good one!

it mounts differently aswell so the bulkhead box is no problem. Im just going to alter the fan and motor in mine plus make sure that the matrix is well sealed in so it works effiecently. Good thing is that on the old vans they have a variable resistor to control the fan speed so you can have it turned down low if you like rather than flat out all the time.

its not to difficult to remount the heater i drilled off the brackets before i cut the bulkhead out then reattached them, does stick out a little further like dave said. refitting the heater will help keep the engine a little cooler to

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
