Block heater timer
#2
1280 is fine if it's just the block heater (1000W). I've set up both my wife's trucks with battery warmers as well, ganged together on one plug. Aprx. 1150W total. We got a Woods outdoor 15A (1800W) grounding mechanical timer. Most timers I saw were rated for 1250W tungsten (light bulbs), 1800W resistive. The block heater's just a bigeffin' heating element (think: toaster), so the resistive rating applies.

I suppose 10, 100 watt lightbulbs would be about the same so 1000 watts really isn't a huge amount. Those little brown indoor extention cords are rayed at 2000 watts.
