It's the same deal whether original or conversion. Direct start with glow plugs and ether starting aid was rated down to -10 def. F.
Below that some engines offered manifold air heaters. If no air heater than water jacket heat is required. What engine and how cold a temperature are you referring to?
There are limits....It is not advisable to use electric starting in temperatures below the pour point of SAE No. 10W oil without addition of some heat to the cooling system of the engine or dilution of the crankcase oil.
