Windyhill,
Welcome to the forum.
For the block heater, what kind of heater are you using (cooling system or oil heater)?
Under normal driving conditions, it takes a loonnnnggggg time to get these things up to full temperature. In the winter, it may take an hour before you get an indication on the temp guage.The engine and tranny is a big hunk of steel to get up to temp.
Haven't looked at it but something just came to mind. There's a fan on the engine at all times (plus the aux fan electrically turned on). I wonder if the main fan that's on all the time can be removed (seperated from the pully) so it'll get up to temp faster.
