That's exactly what I was thinking. But you should do the block heater first. No point in putting hot air into a cold engine.

If you wanted to get really fancy, you could add a second battery that you plug in at night with the block heater. Then the battery can power the heater without draining on your alternator. Since you only need it a for a few minutes, the battery could be pretty small.
