You got the right idea, a chase shift heat pump is efficient way of heating, but the thermoelectric ones arent that efficient.

The temp diff between the 2 sides isnt much either. You do know engine coolant is pumped through the throttle body, right? How about buying a mini pc radiator or a tranny cooler and cutting it up, tapping the coolant lines to the tb and stick this in the air intake area to preheat the incoming air?

The hose on top of the t stat housing thats like 1/2 inch is where it exits the motor, then it enters from the tb back into the head. The 3/4 hose on top the tranny/ima housing is for the heater core.
