It should certainly be enough. In fact when I use a block heater it defrosts the little areas right above the vents before I even start the engine, simply because the heated coolant is thermosiphoning through the heater core and I've left the controls on "hot".
First thing: grille block.
Second thing: engine blanket.
Third thing: block heater- and it doesn't need to be on more than an hour either. Depending on how cold out it is, you can probably get away with less, maybe down to 1/2 hour?
