DAMHIK Probably not a bad idea to put it up on jackstands/blocks, but I don't have as much data to back it up as some of these other guys do... 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee 383 A4 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 440 FC7 (sold)

Consider engine and exhaust system damage starting engine to move the car a few inches,,,,you should always do a through warm up when starting an engine that is to be not started again for any extended period. Especially in cold weather.
