I've read about a number of people who berried a coiled of pex below the frost line, fitted it with a pump and some quick connect hydraulic hose fittings then fill it with anti freeze, then fit the vehicle with matching quick connect fittings on either side of the engine so you can pump 55 degree fluid in to your engine from the ground.
If I had a solar hot water system on my house I would add a block heater hook up to it like the ground source one I just described.
people have built systems with the quick connect fittings that use a propane burner as well, for heating up large equipment where electricity is not located.
