I've found a couple Boss 302s close enough to me that are going for MSRP, and that's an attractive price for this car, to me. I was recently dead set on getting an 2011 Infiniti M37x because I had figured I wasn't going to be able to get a Boss for anywhere near MSRP with ridiculous dealer...

Ok, so I recently replaced most of the gaskets on my 65 V8 after finding a blown head gasket. While the top end was apart for the first time in what i would assume to be years, i took the opportunity to give everything a good cleaning. Considering the rest of the car is falling apart thanks to...
