I thought that was the case.
I wonder if I could tap the aluminum thermostat housing I just bought and screw in a block heater.
The problem is that the thermosat housing is outside the engine coolant loop and it is at the top of the radiator. So (1) I would be heating the radiator coolant, not the coolant in the block. And (2) since heat rises it might not be very efficient. Although I suppose since Im heating liquid rather than air it might still work well.
