The pipe you are seeing I blocked off, it used to have a coolant hose to it that ran to the crappy D24t stock water/oil cooler. Being that you have a factory IC engine you have a front mount oil cooler, which is what I installed on my engine. I did install a block heater as well, it is in one of the freeze plug holes on the pass side of the block. I didn't end up installing it untill after I put the engine in, but man what a difference it makes. It starts up and runs smooth right away even with temps in the teens. Well worth it. My heater is a "Kats" block heater, I don't know if you can get them over on your side of the pond though. I'm not sure you could find a heater thats small enough to go in that spot, the heater I have is the size of one of the freeze plugs, and the element barely fits in the water jacket area. Its 400 watts.
