Hello folks,

I would purchase a "KATS" vertical circulation (tank)
heater.
Install it in your return line, to the side of the
block.

Mount it to the fender well, with supplied straps.
Also use the 1500 watt model.

This will heat 30 qts. or more of coolant, they also
have a built in thermostat.

I prefer these to the inline radiator hose types.
Bulk hose is many times CHEAPER, than cutting your
lower radiator hoses.

Trust me on this, as I own a transportation company.
All of my bigger rigs, and personal vehicles have
these installed, along with oil pan pad heaters.

Block heaters are fine to a certain extent. BUT, if
you want to make sure they will start. Either park
them in a heated shop, or use a tank heater.

Yesterdays temp was - 49 DEG F., warmed up to minus 28
deg, today!
Almost bikini weather! LOL

Take care, be safe.
