Jimer: I used 1500 watt circulating heaters on 6 cylinder diesels. At -30F outside, if you plug those in, 2 hours will be much like a summer time start. These are the Cadilac of heaters, give special attention to what KB told you.

I would think with a gasser like the 300, 30-45 min and you'd be ready to start. A properly tuned 300 is one of the best starting engines ever in cold weather. I had one years ago, and have started it on 6 volt, unassisted by any starting aids at 40 below.

If I remember correctly your block drain should be about half way along the block, 2-3 inches above oil pan. I've forgotten for sure which side but think it is left. Some IH tractor models were left side and some models were right side, thus when one has had 16 of them, some things you just don't remember.
