Default block heater

Anyone know if the GS350 will take a block heater? If so what part and where is the plug located?

Thanks!

There are plenty of youtube videos showing Toyota block heaters. All Toyota engine blocks are pre-cast for them. There are "dry" heaters as opposed to old style ones where you removed a freeze plug out of the block. Don't know if this is the exact part or not, but this is what they look like now. They are required in parts, maybe all??, of Canada. Thats why the engine blocks are pre-cast to accept them.

i think i found the hole but there's no way to get to it without removing the drivers side exhaust manifold...
