Purely an attempt at humor, sir. I think I mentioned originally not much to worry about
It was pretty funny

Exactly and wrap a tarp over engine that light u mentioned with tarp keeps its pretty warm.put an old school bulb work light under the oil pan on the floor.
won't get below freezing under the hood...
Just got this moving today after a 30 year sleep from a cracked block.......ya, I know! But that was the cause.

Believe it or not, it did almost get a 340 for the replacement!
Back when people actually had well houses, a light bulb is all it took to keep it from freezing. Go to tractor supply and get a heat lamp for chickens.
If it were my car it would have antifreeze in it or drain it empty. Not worth taking a chance on.
I think you should sell the car to me. I will park it my garage where it will never get to freezing.
You are nuts! How bad do you want to build a new engine? Drain it, put in a heater, do something beside asking on the Internet, that won't save it.
Buddy broke a real 426 hemi after racing one October night got lazy, never drove the car again. Freeze cracked it.
You play Russian roulette for kicks too?
Did the same thing camping on weekend up my buddies place in the mountains.Well, i used that trick with my old outside dog..... Hung a lightbulb in her doghouse, and sealed the door with an old truck innertube with a slit in it. She never froze, or even got too cold. It was the funniest thing ever to see her pop her head out and look around after a big overnight snowstorm, and then pop back in to a long winters nap!!
