Can I Use a Power Pulley To Heat the Engine for Short Trips?

I was thinking of using the smaller diameter ‘power pulley’ so the engine would heat up better in cold weather when I make short trips. By ‘short trips’ I mean stop and go in town driving, going about 25, 35 to 40 mph for about 5 miles in under 85 but over 25 degrees F outside temperature. I am already using the thermostat, shutters, and stock air cleaner pre-heat hose. When I don’t need the heater in the warm/hot weather months, I plan to go back to using the stock larger diameter crank pulley. Any help will be appreciated!
