I was thinking about your idea to use a domestic heating blanket as an engine block heater? I wouldn't feel so confident to do so, since I'm not so sure that it wouldn't damage some rubber or plastic hose in the engine compartment. Anyway, some thermal insulation around the engine head and the sump may help it to retain the heat more effectively.
