Heat output 300-400 degrees F.

I thought of that but there is no where to attach it to the oil pan. The block heater brings the engine temperature up adequately. I use 0-40 oil. The starter doesn't turn it over fast enough is a big part of the problem. Even with a fully charged battery and another vehicle boosting it or a battery charger on boost it doesn't increase the cranking speed.
