The glow plugs are designed to be installed in the combustion chamber,so when the injector sprays, it hits the hot tip of the glow plug and ignites the fuel. You would need the install either a grid type heater in the intake manifold similar to what the cummins engines use,or one of the older stle heaters that the Perkins engines or older fords used. These have a heating coil and a fuel supply. When activated, the coil gets hot, fuel drips on it starting a fire in the intake,which in turn is drawn in to the cylinder while cranking over. Either of these will take some engineering to adapt to your engine. An easier method of cold starting would either be the use of an ether injector which injects a measured shot of ether in to the engine while cranking,or just give the engine a light shot of ether while you are cranking it. If you use ether judiciously,no engine damage will result.It has been a common practice for years and many manufactures have ether injectors on their engines.
