[Shotimes] Block heater

[92SHO]

I found reference on SHOforum that the block heater goes in one of the freeze
plugs.  How hard can it be to install ?  My goal anyway is to get heat faster,
not necessarily get the oil to flow !  I already use Mobil 1 5w30, but in -10F
weather my body is the one needing heat quick.
