Joel,

I did something similar a few years ago during an extended cold spell when,
in the mornings, my WBX was cranking about as fast as a taffy pulling
machine.  Instead of a wooden box, I cut down a cardboard box until it was a
force fit under the sump.  Inside, I placed a coffee can in which I had
mounted a porcelain base (the type with the terminals on top).  The can had
large holes punched around its bottom in the hope of creating a chimney
effect.  I used a 150 watt lamp because that is what I had in the garage.
One unforeseen benefit of a cardboard box is that there is little chance of
doing any damage when you forget it is under there and drag it along for the
ride.
