After switching to alky this year it was recommended to install a freeze plug style block heater to keep the engine warm between rounds.
Does anyone know a part number for a simple freeze plug block heater I can install?
Not interested in debating the block heater just looking for help locating the best part for it.
Thank You!!! I agree a block heater would be good, BUT a freeze plug type on a race car I would be worried it would blow out. look at a oil heater maybe , Google,,, some that go in the lower hose

Thank You!!! My first aky car had a in line heater in the lower hose. Never needed to use it even running in 50* weather. Just FYI I found putting a padded moving blanket over the engine after hot works well , and I assume you have a lean out Valve.
