macktruckEd62 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 im wondering if using a circulation heater through the heater core to head is ok instead of the block heater, will that do ok? and any recommendations on wattage and make type for the new jersey and new york area? b61 thermodyne 1961 thanks so much.

HK Trucking Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 If you'd rather not install a heater in the block, you can use a 1500 watt tank type engine heater piped into the heater hoses. Connect it properly so you're circulating the hot water thru the engine not thru the heater core.There are also engine heaters available which can be installed in the bottom radiator hose..
