Steve & FoT... we are required to run straight water, I too have been
concerned about our little Triumph in the paddock when the temp's are
freezing..been told we would need a long hard freeze overnight to harm the
cars... I ain't buying it. Being in the boat business 10 years ago I've seen
cast iron blocks freeze in boats when the temp hovered around 27-30 degrees in
one night. Problem is an aluminum radiator and attaching a magnet to it... I
kinda like the idea of the little magnet block heater... I'm my garage at
home, I'll cover the engine bay with a thick moving blanket and place one of
the long space heaters under the front of the car... other than that????

engine heater
If you're running straight water as coolant you may want to
consider keeping the radiator above freezing temp as well as the engine block.
