No doubt smaller ones exist, but:

Pre-heating on start up is one thing, but continuous running is quite another. A heat gun takes 2400w, and while it heats up the air nicely, might not be so effective at the CFM required by an ICE.
The main issue is we have plenty of waste heat in an ICE, so it's always going to be better to use waste heat.
