Basically put the new one in series with the return line from the existing heater core. To control the temp, I would use a flapper valve in the airbox, controlled by a push/pull cable. No need for a flow valve.
I was thinking of running it parallel to the existing heater core to avoid reduced flow. I like to have plenty of heat when I want it. It would be good to have a way to disable this mod on hot days for cars that don't do well with HOT air. I think I have a tranny cooler that would fit in the air box.....
