Well it will take a fairly substantial ...
Excuse me but I don't see the point of going through an exchanger ???
Why not pass the water from the tanks directly into the engine block knowing that it is a circuit or this water will turn in a loop and that I keep the engine calorstat so as not to drop below the operating temperature (77 ° VS)?
In addition all my premises are frost-free so no need for antifreeze.
My assembly is quite complicated like that so if I can avoid an exchanger ....

If I remove the original water pump it will be to replace it with a circulation pump supplied by the generator and controlled by a judicious delta T socket.
I do not intend to settle for a simple thermosiphon for the same reasons that you mentioned.
