JT: Don"t know about your 239 as it"s been awhile since I"ve been around one, plus I never owned one. On the 188 and 282 that preceeded the 239, one could plumb the tank heater between the block drain and a port near the center of the head. I expect you can do the same on the 239.

That set worked well on those older engines. I had one of these on a 6 cylinder Deere as well, plumbed the same. All of them worked well. They were 1500 watt heaters and at -30F they only had to be plugged in 2 hours for an easy start. I had 3 of these heaters in use on my farm at one time, and in all cases block drain was on same side as a port in the head. Made for very easy plumbing. Those heaters will also be labled as to which end up. I think they work best with very simple direct plumbing as the coolant must move by thermosyphon.
