Ive been preheating my engine while driving to spots by placing it on the passenger side floor, and turning on the floor heater in my car. But if i spend to long raking/digging/sculpting dirt she goes back to stone cold. Rather than buy an engine heater, Reckon if i hack the parts out of an old electric blanket 'Macgyver Style' could it be rigged onto a car battery? Or wired onto a car cigarette lighter plug. This would be used for remote areas where there's no power point for a heat gun.

No. Do you not understand the idea of A/C and D/C?

It wont work but you can buy a cigarette lighter plug in that you can run your heat gun off of.
