Wow what a fast-paced thread. Lotta ego in the chat LOL.
Lots of good suggestions but I think I vastly prefer the "shove a burning newspaper up the intake" idea, haha. More realistically, a 12V intake grid-heater could probably be snuck into place in front of the intake manifold somewhere. Wire up your own relay and switch for it, run for 30 seconds before attempting to start. Might not be as good as glow plugs, but it would help a lot. Good enough for 12 and 24 valve Cummins 5.9s in zero degree weather.
