I think you would find that the inefficiencies of even a decent DC system would just consume even more power, however I'm open to ideas/solutions.
What about a grille block mang? Although you are still 'wasting' the exhaust gases, it will assist with warm-up times for very little outlay.
On second thoughts, coolant temperature usually follows block temperature pretty well. Remember that most of the coolant is circulating inside of the block, apart from the stuff that is kept in your radiator and heater core by the thermostat. I'm not sure how much you would gain by adding more capacity to the cooling system to warm it faster... hmm. Good question.
