Does any one out there know where I can purchase a 12 volt heat gun? I've got a heat gun that I use to shrink monocoat with.It would be nice to have a 12 volt heat gun as the area that I want to run in doesnt have access to 120 volt AC to run the heat gun to heat up my engine!

A 12v hairdryer can be found in any camping shop or at a truck stop.

Maybe better to search official engine heaters. The SkyRC is very affordable.

Why would you need a heat gun instead of a normal engine warmer?

I agree a 12v block heater is usually sufficient. It takes a little longer than a heat gun but mine gets the engine up to ~170° within 20 minutes with 3 cell lipo. If it's an engine that's broken in I usually don't even wait for it to get to 170°, with most of my broken in engines the pinch is usually very minimal once it's heated to 150 or so.

Higher capacity lipos seem to work a little better too... more amps and less voltage drop I'd guess.
