I put hot water heat in my 30' Tudor last fall & I love it, Total cost was about $50 to 60.00, but doing all the work myself. I bought a new heater core on e-bay for $10.00 & the lower water inlet with heater hose tap in it from Brattons as well as the top radiator hose section with the hose connection in it. The fan is a computer fan 5-8 volt & only about 1" thick & very quiet & efficient. I put mine under the drivers side for a few reasons (choke & GAV rod issues as well as fact that i'm more often than not by myself anyway). It all can be removed with no visible changes other than the two holes in the firewall to plug & paint. E-mail me if you want & I can send some photos & give you details on the right heater core & fan model. Took a whole weekend but it is really worth it, best thing I ever did for driving comfort, second best was the "new" Zenith Carb. Joe in PA PS: I did have a local tin shop make metal box to hold & mount the heater core, another $10.00.
