It may be attached to a freeze plug which is pressed into the block. Then it would be a pita to get it out.
If using synthetic oil, a block heater becomes less useful as the oil won't be as thick at colder temperatures as dino oil would be. But getting down to -40 it would have its benefits especially at reducing cold start wear with little lubrication.

Yea at -40 a cold start is pretty rough on the engine. This is my reason mainly for wanting one. Also so it doesn't take 30+ minutes for the car to fully warm up when it is -40.
