You're right there mate.
That's 455 cubic inches of good old 1970's American V8 (7500cc)

With a timing chain - no cam belts !

Same with Imageshack.

I lost thousands of pictures as I refused to be held to ransom like that.

If there was say a one off fee, £10 or so, to get all your pics, fine, but the subscriptions were an absolute rip off.

Now store all my stuff in Azure blob, and map the blob store to my desktop as a local drive.

So far it's done about one gallon to the yard !
I haven't had it out on the road yet but have done at least 12 gallons of fuel breaking in the camshaft on drive and driving it in and out of garage etc.
Am still restoring/modifying the car it's in

I hadn't looked at my Photobucket account for ages until this morning. All my photos are still there and available. Have had to confirm my email address each time I post a photo off of there onto here but hey,it's working again so that's ok

I do like Olds V8's,great torque,have one in one of my other Yanks and had them in both my Cadillac Sevilles when I had them. One of the Olds engines out of one of those Caddys now resides in my mates Chevy pick up. After residing in my garage for twenty years or so,knew it would come in handy for someone eventually
