NYMustang50

Well im getting this new mustang and it supercharged 5.0 1992 mustang. Now I live in NY long island so in the winter is pretty cold. Does anyone else run a car similar to mine all year round. And in those cold months does anyone have trouble running it since its supercharged i know that like cold starts below 25 degrees f is bad from what vortech says. Now does anyone run a block heater or engine blanket. Because this car is my daily driver i dont know what to do in those cold months. And where could I get a block heater or blanket.

I drive my s/c car year round but I live in Mississippi, it gets cold down here but not as cold as up north (I used to live in PA) and its also not my DD

Just pick up a $500 if youre worried about driving it in the winter.
I know I wont drive mine in the snow- it hardly gets traction in the rain.
I drove it until it snowed last winter though- the cold didnt affect it but then again mine isnt blown.

maybe i will just keep my vert and drive that in the winter and drive the hatch in the summer spring fall untill i buy a truck for the winter. Has any one used like a freeze plug heater?? http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...10002_89208_-1
?? I might just try it.. If i notice anything then I will just look into buying a truck.

i had an 89 ranger with a 6cyl and i drove that in the winter, what a nightmare, im not even going to attempt to drive my 5.0. First snow its going in the garage so i can work on it in the winter. Plus i dont want it to rust out.
