A can set on the valley between the intake manifold and the valve cover
will be heated nicely in about 30 miles. Just puncture a small hole in the
top and wedge it in place. I used to heat our sons baby food on the heater
core of the van. When I was on the farm I would heat food on the tractor
engines and cool a Pepsi in the NH3 overflow valve.
