I wish I had more time to work on projects.

My idea to do create a similar system to the insulated coolant tank is to create a coolant to wax heat exchange. I have a transmission cooler 1x11x9 place that in a box that will be insulated and sealed melt the wax and dump it over the cooler in the box just leaving a little air space in the box and close it up tight.

Then add in two T's to the current return line or to the lowest point in the coolant path. At the first T I would install a low temp tstat so to open it to the coolant path. I might need to use a valve to open and close the path instead or use a small pump to force coolant in when it is cold and when it is up to temp. The last part will take some testing to get it to work the best.
