What happened to the old SBC build and Vortec head porting threads?

There used to be several valuable threads on here that a member assembled with very specific small block build lists for example 350/350, small block 400, etc. The same member also did a detailed write up with pictures on how to port Vortec heads. All these threads seem to have been removed from this site years ago. Does anyone know what happened, or have these saved/archived?

Thanks

Yes, thank you so much, that definitely gets at what I was thinking of. I'm not sure about the Vortec porting pictorial though. Maybe Atilla was the one that took the pictures down, I'm not sure.
