Another thing to consider would be getting rid of mechanical fans, and buying a Taurus electric fan setup. That way nothing would pull air at all until it was switched on which in the winter, you probably wouldn't need to run at all.
BTW, no vehicle I owned (and I had several) ever got to normal operating temp during the -40's up there. I'm sure a few folks remember Michael who had a Durango who's 360 wouldn't give heat when it was below -25, no matter what he tried.
My 85 Burb would get close with the high idle on for extended periods of time, but the moment I started driving the temp would go down.
Try removing the fan shroud when you are playing with it. That will decrease the amount of air pulled by the fan. Just watch in the summer as you might have an issue keeping your cool, but it should be fine.
