That is the idea. Route some or all of the exhaust through a diesel EGR cooler and it acts as an exhaust heat exchanger.
If you are looking for a heat exchanger for some kind of exhaust heat recovery project, this is exactly what you want. Its made of stainless steel, they are already designed to exchange the heat between the exhaust and coolant, depending on the cooler they can rather large and flow a lot of exhaust and coolant or be small and compact if you don't have a lot of room.
Then use an old 80's exhaust valve or exhaust cutout to cut exhaust flow when everything is warmed up.
