I always hated doing cold engine start especially after winter storage. Not to mention it's a dry start. Your oil film is gone on brgs an surfaces after 2 weeks when sitting I always shut the fuel pump off with gas pedal override till I had oil pressure in spring for initial start or after the car sat.
At work I maintain a 454cid generator. When it starts it goes from 0 to 3500rpm. I always cringe an wait for parts to fly when I start it ! Generators always use block heater keeping it at operating temp of 185 degrees for start.
I don't drive my Cobra much. 60 percent of engine wear is below 160degrees as its warming up. Block heater would be a easy mod for starts. I can plug car in spring or after sitting extended periods in garage between rides.
