I have heard either a Primer Plus system, or some guys use oil heaters to get some heat in the motor prior to fire up. With a solid block, warm up shouldn't be too hard, even on alky. Lol! Working with a close friend and expert on fuel systems to help with the carburetion calibrations.

I really appreciate everyones input on this. This is unknown territory for me, and I'm really looking forward to the challenge.
