When I was in the aviation business, we installed Tanis brand heaters on just about everything. Of course most all our engines were air cooled, so no water radiator. But still, there were plenty of 0-F or below zero (F) days/nights when starting without a Tanis system proved impossible.
In-laws were very involved in aviation during the 1970's through the early 1980's. I think the solution at that time was a pair of car warmers (small electric heaters) under the cowl. Must have worked as a lot flying happened in winter as father in-law was a flight instructor. At the time they probably could be had for $25 or so.
