Last, Are there any other inexpensive, safe solutions we
should consider that would hold the engine and/or oil at a
constant temp? I would think there might be some way to
cover the engine compartment with old blankets and set a 75
degree thermstatically controlled heater or light bulb in
there.

Heating pads, heat lamps, small quartz heaters; all have been used. If you
use something that does not have a thermostat, use an inline baseboard
heater thermostat, available at home stores.

Add a timer so that it does not run all of the time, and you have a system.
Of course for minimal condensation amounts, run them all of the time.
