Jason, I like the idea of a heater right under the oil pump. Is it just tacked on with welds?

The last time I looked in the applications book, only a freeze plug heater was listed for the 235/261. Some engines don't have the right convection circulation patterns for a tank heat (heater hose) or a lower radiator hose heater. The heating element overheats.

I had a 1500 W tank heater on a 283 when I lived in Wyoming. One hour is all it took in very cold weather.
