Verry interesting treath.

I aim planning on installing water coolant glow plugs to heat up the coolant. But those will only be powered directly from the alternator after the engine is fired up. Was thinking of placing this inline in the cabin heater line. But is this the best place to heat up the engine as fast as possible?
