Hello
78 and 79 base engines have a cast iron intake
78 and 79 L82 have an aluminium intake
I think yours is a L82
cast iron are painted engine color ---> blue
aluminium are painted dull silver !!
Voilà tu sais tout

I have never gotten used to seeing a blue engine in a Corvette 
. Blue engines [except for the original 6-banger] are meant to be in Pontiacs! Chevy engines should be "Chevy Engine Orange". What were they thinking? [Oh, that's right...this was GM in the late 70's. They were "out to lunch".]
