You want to set up a parallel water path to the engine thru your heater so
water flows thru it and the normal engine component route as well. But don't
parallel the coolant pump. A series connection might restrict coolant flow.
Find out how a truck or bus compartment heater is connected to its engine and
copy that.
I know the diamond shaped plates you refer to but it's been a long time since
I've seen them up close. Many series 71 engines have available pipe thread
connections available. Most experienced marine mechanics would be able to show
you specific connection points.
It's not a bad idea to set up a valve at each end of your heater connections
just in case the heater develops a leak...then you can just shut the valves
off and proceed as normal.
