Alright, it's been a long time since I've been on, got back from afghanistan a couple months ago. Now its that time to work on ye olde boat. Before I deployed I had a problem with no fuel getting to the left bank. Also had an oil leak, possibly the head gasket, so I'm going to just tear it down and give everything a once over. I was thinking of changing out the cam (it is stock) and replacing it with something more performance oriented. I found this little gem on ebay and wanted an opinion on if I should get it. Seems like a pretty good deal, but I dont know shit about cams. This can be viewed at this link:

I am also thinking of going a totally different direction overall look. I plan on painting just about everything on it. The headers included. Has anyone used a high heat paint that they are fond of that works well?
Also, I am looking for a used air scoop, the kind with the butterfly openings. Condition doesnt matter cuz it will get painted anyway. Cheaper the better. Aslo going to replace the guages and I can't remember who was selling them last time. Thats about it for now.
