Gary: I see your in Colorado, thus you do have winter. One of the best moves you can make is buy a circulating block heater, even if you don't need it for starting. That engine is one of the best applications for a circulating heater. You can plumb it in between block drain and a port in the head. Those head ports are about 1" plugs designed to be removed by a 1/2" drive. One for each cylinder, pick no. 2 or 3.

I always felt 30 min of heater was well worth it at 45F down to freezing. What is a bit of electricity if you double life of your engine.
