I really like running no T-stat. It's the biggest/smallest restriction on the system.

I'd like to run the pump at a very low rate when my block heater is hooked up so that the entire engine is warmed when I go to start it.

Oh, I got lost somewhere. So you want to run the water around before you start the motor? Novel idea. Pre-heat the block, then circulate the water to the trans and warm that up too. Then start the car. I like that.
You linked a pic a few pages back but i'm not sure if that is what you decided you were going with. How are you planning on heating the trans with the water again? What sort of heat exchanger setup?
Also a few questions regarding another idea I was thinking of:
Does the OEM cooling system use a internal bypass when warming up? Or a external bypass. Or no bypass at all? Do you have any pics of how the cooling system runs and where the T-stat is at?
