Gasoline heater is your best friend. Instant heat, no fumes.

On the subject of heating - has anyone out there tried insalling an oil cooler and fan as a heater, in a similar fashion to a watercooled engine ?

Basically it's a bad idea: When it's cold, and the engine barely reaches normal operating temperature, you would be cooling it even more than normal. but when it's hot outside, you turn this extra cooling OFF. Possibly leaving the ductwork and such just hindering airflow and ending up with LESS cooling than stock.
