If minimizing engine heat losses outside of coolant flow is the goal, then the best way to do that would be insulation or a low emissivity coating (example, polished or chrome plated engine).

I'll do a test of MPG for the first 2 miles after a cold start and then repeat for a warm start. If it is a significant difference, then an electric engine heater might be worth it, even in summer.
