Years ago, I had a dipstick heater that I used in old flathead Plymouths. It helped a little, but was not nearly as effective as the headbolt heater I used to replace it. But I haven't seen a headbolt heater for sale for a long time.
For the OHV Ford hundred series, I have had good luck with installing lower radiator hose heaters. They install in that hose by cutting it in the right spot to place the heater as close to the water pump as possible, and then seal it in with hose clamps. You do almost have to drain the coolant to install the heater. But once it is installed and the coolant refilled, all you need to do is plug it in. (And remember to unplug it before you drive away!!!)
My lower radiator hose heater on my 641D will get the diesel engine warm enough to start like Summer if I plug it in for an hour or so at 0 degrees. Diesels start much harder in cold weather than gas engines. Good luck!
