Matt, if your handy with plumbing and electrical, make your own, use a small circulating pump(household boiler type), and commercial grade water heater elements screwed into the ends of T fittings in a zig zag fashion, 3 4500 watt elements will keep your block warm. Install appropriate thermostat and contactors, all off the shelf items at a good plumbing supply house. Don't forget to install automatic drains in case of a power failure, I prefer the GURU brand.
