New here, but not to Olds

So I'm new here, but not to the Olds game. I bought my 85' Cutlass when I graduated high school in 89', spun a rod bearing in the 307 in the early 90's and a 455 got swapped in... pretty much stock except for a small cam and intake. Ended up spinning another bearing in 96' and that sidelined the car till 2015. During that time I did my research and in 15' had a fire lit under my *** to get it back on the road, by 16' it was a badass cruiser, just 3 different colors. Tore it down for paint, one painter had it for over a year and finally lost faith and found another to complete it. After a full under carriage rebuild it was running the streets by christmas 2020. This brings me to the here and now.... found the revamped Edelbrock heads and researching those led me here. Soon there will be a head swap and a bit of port matching I regret not doing before during assembly.

Very cool. Now I see the pics with my phone & on my desktop. Must be something squirrely with your laptop.
