It is a precombustion chamber engine, low pressure injection nozzles and it requires a lot of heat in pre cup area to fire up. A glow plug in each cup like 282 would work but would require better cranking speed for good starts. Some refer to the energy cell type systems other engines used (the continental in the 350 uses that) and say they start direct so why won't these pre cup engines . Well, there is a lot of difference from pre cup to energy cell. Once a pre cup engine gets going and warmed it has great turbulence created which is not so during cranking speeds. Also, notice the light construction of block, crankshafts etc on 282 etc and even diesels used in auto years ago. Reason, pre cup engines don't have the violent combustion directly on the piston , rod and crank like the open chamber engines do. The original M D style engine was way over built down below in comparison. Also, engine was originally designed so it could be started by hand crank, reason for design of starting on gasoline.
