Circulating heaters are nice but you dont have to have one.
I used 3700w to heat a V8 diesel and 2 turbo chargers. The 2 turbo chargers are almost as big as some 3 and 4 cylinder engines. If you put a 1000w and standard 600w heater elements in a 4 cylinder engine block I think you would be doing really well. I bet it would warm up faster than my diesel and its coolant circulating 220volt powered setup.
