A lot of block heaters these days are very easy to install. With most everyone using aluminum blocks these days, there is simply an extra hole bored in the block. You put some thermal grease on the block heater and it slides into place with a clip to hold it there. Run the extension cord where you want. Bam, you're done. No draining the coolant or punching out freeze plugs.
