Heat Generating Methods (cold weather starts)

[Smurfeh]

Alright, well as most of you dont know.. I live in Yellowknife NWT Canada. During the winter overnight temps can reach -55C with a windchill. I was required to remove my block heater to install my DDingo Mounts. I still havent found an alternative method of heating the block. I use an inline coolant heater, and a "buddy heater" in my engine Bay to produce heat. Its still not enough. Pretty sure removing the by pass on the steam ports and porting it back to the TB would help slighty. My major concern is temp on start up. 1984 K5 5.3L 4L60e Aluminum Block and pan.

Need to pick some brains on a few Items:

1) Alternative location to install the block heater.
2) Anyone create a oil pan heater though the oil pan drain plug or an idea of how I could do that?
3) Any Advice to generate heat while it sits overnight OUTSIDE, putting it inside is not an option.


Any help would be greatly appreaciated!!

Thanks guys!
