    I remember back in Toronto, lots of cars had block heaters, on normal gas cars.

    are you interested in just a plain jane one that goes in your block drain outlet? i don't have a v8 so i don't know where it is, but i'm sure someone with the m60 could tell you, and you could take the plug out and have one sized for your car.

    i was just wondering if there is away to install one, because iam up in Canada, and the winters here get extreamly cold, and lots of days when you get up in the morning to start your car it wont even crank over, so its good to have one.
