Block Heater?

Does anybody know if the canadian P5 come with a block heater? And if not can you get one put in? Was not sure if the motor had frost plugs?

Thanks

Just so you know, the "frost plugs" you're referencing are not actually there to protect the engin from cracking when it freezes. The holes are drilled in the block in order to remove the sand after making it. They have nothing to do with freeze protection. It's an old myth.

As for the block heater, you should be able to get that installed on almost any vehicle. I know when I lived in Alaska they were required.
