I had a pan heater on my air cooled engines in daily cars. It went on the oil drain sump plate. That worked like a charm.

Years ago they would drain the antifreeze and put it in the house to keep warm. I would either start and run it every so often or drain the oil into a bucket and put it in the laundry room.

I have also taken a brooder heat light and aimed it at the engine. Put it an inch or two away from the block. I have thawed frozen rear ends that way. Those bulbs put out some heat.

The comment about the heat gun would really help, too. One of my diesels has an intake air heater on it. If I start it when it is cold and let off the intake heater it dies out. Hit it again and it smooths right out. Warm air works better.
