I installed a aftermarket block heater in the lower radiator hose. I took the opportunity to replace both upper and lower hoses and flush system. Mixed results with block warming on '95 V6. In the past I've used soft plug replacement heaters and been happier with instant warm heater air on cold mornings. The lower hose may warm up the engine slightly faster. Hard to quantify. I've put the heater on a 110v timer so it comes on about 3-4 hours prior to my morning commute.
take it to a garage you fool
Do you mean where on a car is a block heater install or who do you take the car to to install?
Block heaters are relatively inexpensive and come in varying degrees of usefulness. I have a 1995 Nissan p/u XE kingcab w/ the 4 cylinder engine. I looked around and decided to take it to the local mechanic. For less than $60 parts and labor, it was done.

I have a 94 pu 4x4 and live in Red Deer Alberta, and went one winter without a block heater. Not again. I looked into it, and the amount of work required to install one is way to much work. You need to rip out a lot of 4x4 components to get at the correct freeze plugs and then try to have the block heater seal the coolant. I suggest just purchasing a magnetic pan heater. About the same price as a block heater but all you need to do is stick some high-temp silicone to it and attach it to your oil pan and you're done. Mine works awesome and never have a problem starting after a -40 night
That particular make and model of car does not have a block heater!
