The best block heater I heard of was for the Ural, a Soviet military truck. Legend has it that on really cold days you could just build a fire under the engine to warm it up.
Has anybody tried a Thermos-style coolant storage arrangement ala Prius? I tried it a few years ago, but the Thermos only had about 1.5 litres capacity and the hoses were poorly insulated, so it barely worked. But I'm up for trying it again.
