I don't think there is any space for a block heater on these engines. You could install an inline coolant heater though, which is even better. The other alternative is one of those stick on oil pan heaters.
Use lighter oil in the winter and charge your battery and she should start just fine though. Not sure one really needs a heater of any kind for those machines.
I just use a magnetic temporary type. Princess auto sells them for around 20$ iirc. just stick it on and plug it in when needed. I keep the quad covered with a quad cover and trickle charge the battery with an IQ charger when temps are below -15. Most times even in -25/30 the quad starts right up. Occasionally I'll have to put a small electric heater under the cover for a few hours
Small in car heater pointed at the engine ? I've done that with air compressors.

I have put an infra red brooder bulb towards the block and a packing blanket over the quad to warm it up in really cold temps. Nowhere to stick a magnetic heater on my CanAm, its aluminum.

A 1” inline should work fine. Put it close to the engine and not the rad. I had one on a Yamaha Rhino and currently one on my Polaris General. They are about $60 at Canadian tire. If you have enough room between the engine and skid plate, the adhesive pad heater would also work great.

A more expensive option to the magnetic type is the stick on pad the sold at most parts dealers. Basically a thin rubber sticky pad...comes on all different shapes / sizes. Being a stock on pad it can.be put on anything
