Has anyone put an engine heater on an H, thought of putting one from the block drain to the temp. sender with a pipe tee. That's if the drain plug is 1/4 pipe. thanks chris
 
Have had a "head bolt heater" that replaced one of the head bolts in years past.
Have also more recently used "tank heater" style plumbed into the block drain for cold liquid source and a pipe installed below the thermostat for hot liquid returning to the block.

It's been done thousands of times, or at least hundreds. The method you describe is the way to do it.
 
When I was in high school, my first engine overhaul was my dad's Super H. That fall we decided to put a tank heater in the Super H. Being I was so familiar (I thought) with the makeup of the head I decided to connect the block drain to one side of the heater and to drill and tap a hole in the side of the head into the water jacket for the other connection. The reason for drilling the hole is that the temperature gauge on our Farmall H didn't seem to read correct when we teed in the heater there. Anyway, I connected all the hoses and started filling the radiator with the antifreeze I had drained out. After pouring all that I had drained I started to add more. Then I realized something was wrong and checked the oil and found I had drilled into the area where the push rods go and all the antifreeze was pouring into the oil pan. I redrilled the hole over about an inch and was in the water jacket. My dad kidded me about that for a long time after that. Roger
 
My H has a headbolt heater on top of the head. It was in there when I bought it. The original owner left the cord hanging down and the hot manifold burnt it in two. But he used it for years before that.
