hey guys,

i have a 2.2 ecotec with 5 speed

i want to install a circulating block heater on my car. my shop can sell me one for like $50 for a 1500w one.

i want to get command start, but with the car not producing heat after 30 minutes of idling, i want warm coolant when i start it lol. and the oil pan block heater is garbage.

so first.
i need to know where i can tap into the block for my coolant suction, and coolant pressure. are there ports on the back or front of the motor for this.

and second... is 1500w too much? i dont want to go melting anything lol

something like this
