block heater?
Does anybody know where I can find a block heater? I have looked at subaruparts.com and motorsports warehouse, and I have searched through the archives to no avail. So if somebody could set me in the right direction it would be appreciated:) thanks for any help.

block heater...
When I moved from Beaumont Tx to Anaconda MT, all the local homies told me " Boy, you need to put a tank heater on that car!" (a 71 Ford Torino). I noticed all the car there had AC cords hanging out of their grills, so I did what I was told...;)
This was a spherical looking thing that was spliced into the radiator hose; plug it in and it would heat and circulate rad.water thru the block....worked very well! What elevation are you at? Do you really think you need one? I am at 8500' and don't have them on any of my cars...never a problem. This is the "banana belt" compared to Montana where it gets COLD and stays COLD! Are you making snow at WP yet? We sure have had "Colorado perfect" weather the past 2 weeks, but I'm ready for ski season!:) |
I installed a block heater on my SVX. It should be the same one they use on all the other Subaru's.

I live at about 9000'- 10000', you gain about 1000' from one end of the valley to the other. There were a few days last winter where the actual outside air temp was -40, and plenty of days at or around -20 below, the place where I live the fraser valley is known as the icebox of the nation there are many below zero days here, at least in the morning it usually is. I changed my mind on the snowmaking this year, I am going to buy my own pass. The weather has been beautiful lately, I just wish we would get more snow so we can have a record opening like a few years ago, that year we opened up 80% of the runs on the fist day as opposed to skiing on three to four partial runs for a month before it really gets good. later :cool:
