This will do exactly what you are thinking of https://www.ebay.com/itm/310234390594
You can of course get a similar valve locally or from other sources.
The original heater valve works as a bypass valve when you aren't running the heater and that may be an issue with a stock engine, probably not and issue with a later engine.
