I thought about another radiator with some kind of phase-change material that could store heat for a few hours. After that, it's just a matter of using thermostats to direct heated coolant there first, and then to the regular radiator once the output from that unit reached engine temp.

I have the flow thought out; I just don't know what kind of material would work well for that (if anything.)
