My thoughts??? Ok, but its not what you want to hear. Concord is cheap shit
for a reason. Other manufacturers make furnaces that are only 34 inches
tall, but they will only sell to bonified contractors. There is also a
reason that manufactures tell you in the installation instructions NOT to
put the evap coil on the RA side of a gas furnace. Also *most* manufacturers
have put out changes to their warranties that state any of their equipment
that is *NOT* purchased from a legitmate dealer or distributor are null and
void....this includes *ANY* of their equipment that is purchased off the
internet.
Call a pro, because its painfully obvious that you not one.

I appreciate your email, and I think I appreciate the responses posted
by the other members. I used to be a refrigeration technician years
ago after I got out of the "Voc" after high school. I got pretty good
with that. I used to also do installations during college when I
changed fields and got into law enforcement. I know I am not even
close to a professional, but I can hold my own. I am doing this for a
widowed woman whos son is my best friend and I'm trying to help. I
have a "professional" tin man, also a high school friend, that is
doing the duct work. The system I am replacing is forty years old and
the duct work is existing. We are trying to accomadate a supply and
return run that feeds half of the home (split level ranch). This is
why I am using a low boy furnace and want to place the a coil on the
return. We are going to cap the existing return and make up for it
with a new higher one that will pull from a spot higher up and also is
common to the old returns area of work. My tin guy is the one who
first suggested this and told me he sees this done on lots of jobs
(professional). He called his supplier and was told it was okay to
do, just usually not recommended due to corrosion potential. Are you
confident this is a bad move, and if so, do you have any other
suggestions. I really do appreciate the groups comments.

my only response is if your replacing the furnace why go with oil?
its nasty. its expensive, and parts are getting harder and harder to find
oil furnaces are a dying breed,
most 80 and 90 % furnaces these days are only 40 inches tall or less

Because in some area may not have natural gas
