block heater for my 4.0
winter is right around the corner and this year I dont have a spot in the garage because my malibu is staying home this winter so i was thinking of putting in a block heater to keep it warm and i have a feeling she will be a hard starter when it gets really cold. So what do you recommend as far as what one to use any input send it my way

It all depends on how cold winter gets for you. If you really wanna go all out, get a block heater that replaces one of the freeze plugs, and then get a heater pad for under the battery.
Hope this helps!

ran this on my 72 chevy van and 77 chevy van and left them plugged in over night. come out in morning unplug and start vehicle. was nice to know i could get the big ole van heated up within a few minutes of being in it.
also used these on a couple tractors before.
they work awesome and they just T into the lower radiator hose.
not a fan of frost plug heaters. sometimes leak if not done right and a bear to replace.
