The exhaust manifolds on the Land Rover series 2 2.25 4 pot engine are perfectly spaced to take cans - I always used to jam a can of beans, a can of sausages, and a can of tomatoes between them before driving the crew down to the boat club (20 minutes), and we’d have hot breakfast before our outing.

Take that, waste heat.

You likely won't care but i'll advice against it. The cans are typically lined with plastic.
