If you are only worried about temps a few degrees below freezing, say down
to 20F, then just sticking a 100 watt trouble light under the closed hood
actually works pretty good. 

Just don't forget to remove it before starting the engine!

Years ago we had a car that didn't like to start when it was below freezing.
Dad added a 110v heater that teed into the regular heater lines, and plugged
it into the porch light.  He'd flip the light on before he got dressed, and
by the time he'd finished his coffee, that old Chevy would start right up.
Even blew moderately warm air from the heater (compared to outdoors anyway).
