Did you paint the intake manifold or did you have it powdercoated someplace?

It was powered coated but it needs to be redone. There is a powder coating place on marine view drive.

I've been toying with buying a short block 383 or 396. Everyone keeps telling me to do it I may bite the bullet and just do it.
What kinda setup for suspension you got?

Do the 383 if you can, youll never go back to a 350 again.
