Harlen: I think I'd stay away from heater hoses, I'd be afraid the heated coolant would circulate up to the heater and back, and not go to block until it cooled substancially.

I'm not familiar with the 806 block. The 282 in the 560, 656 and 706 was an ideal candidate. I had two of these and hooked between block drain and a port in the head, about half way back the engine. The 282 has a port above each injector on the head, that goes into coolant chamber. This put the hottest coolant right in the head next to the ignition point. From there it circulated down through block and back to heater.

My heaters were 1500 watt and I could plug them in 2 hours at -30 and it would be just like a summertime start. I've seen the block warm, and both heater hoses and radiator both still cold. I did my 404 Deere the same way, and all three worked very well.

These tank heaters do have one downfall, they rust out after 6 to 10 years. I went to plug my Deere in one morning and most of the coolant was on the ground. It may not have been the heaters fault, it did have quite a dinge on side of tank, which probably took years off it's life. The heaters on my 282s actually lasted longer, but probably didn't get used as often.
