I've had a 750 or 850 watt tank heater on my Super H for 45 years. The faster cranking and quicker starting has saved wear and tear on the starter and batteries worth at least as much as what the electricity has cost, probably more like double.
If you install the temp gauge sender on a tee, you may as well not even install the gauge back on the engine, just hook the block heater up right where the temp sender was. The sender has to be in the flow of warm/hot water. Being stuck in a dead end of a tee it will not work.
