intro for anew guy

Sup guys
in new to this forum,and wanted to introduce myself.name is mike, i just recently purchased a 1971 cutlass supreme -ive had my share of old school muscle,but this is my first olds.i currently have a 65 and 67 mustang,and have had buicks and pontiacs,one chevy.
ill have pelnty of questions for all the veterans of olds wrenching.i like to do alot of things myself on my cars,but will definitely need advise, and i will defenitely give my advice.
i recently sign up on oldsmobile.com forums and dont know if they are linked or not, but id rather stay in the classic section, as it partains to me.
thanks in advance fellas.

Welcome to the site. Great looking project car. The 455 will really wake it up. Lots of 455 build information in the big block section and also a bunch of guys who built them up and have installed them in then Olds.
