Harlen: I had a feeling block drain was on opposite side on 806. I was very lucky, my engines all had block drain directly below the port on the head. The circulating heaters I had were cylinder shaped, about 7-8" long and 3" in diameter. I found they worked best if you could position them upright so discharge was directly above the inlet. That free flow of hot coolant going up and return coming to the bottom of heater is quite important.

I your case I'd be tempted to mount the heater just below the port on the head, then run the hose from the block drain under the engine. I'd be afraid of the hose on top of clutch housing lying too flat. Basically what your trying to do here is run a hot water heating system without a circulating pump. Techincally it's very similar to thermosyphon in the Super A. The better you can make flow, the more effective it will be.
