Get that block heater and use it with a $5, 1000 watt, HF timer for about three hours before you plan to start it. Cold starts are really hard on engines.

If the engine doesn't have a cold start cycle where the engine drops a couple of cylinders at a high idle for a faster warmup (probably won't initiate with the block heater preheat), activate the exhaust brake during any required warmup time. The EB will speed the warmup.
