Heater Motor

Can you guys eyeball my heater motor and suggest a suitable replacement? I'd like to pull one from the junk yard and wanted to find a good match. Chevy Astrovan? :?

 

You should be able to pull the motor and go into a NAPA to have it matched up with a close replacement.

 

If you search the archives there was at one time (years ago) an article on using a truck blower motor (I think) that increased the useable output of the stock heater tremendously, several of the members here have done it. It requires a little mod to the mount but works great.
Edit: Found the article, it was Stans heater upgrade on Binky link sems to be dead now,

but found this in the archives about Joels:

You're going to need to take the motor in with you. That blower doesn't look like a stock unit to me. I'm not saying it isn't, but its different from those I've seen.

If you need pictures of my ford motor modification let me know.

 

The NMIA site has been gone for some time. I moved it to my comcast isp:

Just follow the Jeep links.
