As long as your glow system is in working order you shouldnt have any problems. I had a coolant heater that i used to plug in when it was in the sub zeros, but it would start just fine with out it. You'll also notice a big difference in starting if you use either a synthetic or synthetic blend oil in the winter, and good strong batteries. You have to keep your cranking rpm to get them started. hope this helps.

I am pretty sure your block has a heater, it should be next to the engine mount, if you don't have one put one, it goes instead of a freeze plug.
All the guys in really cold weather use them and say they make a difference.
