it's at the powder coating shop now. i'm going with a sem-gloss black wrinkle on the plenum and manifold. the runners will be chevy orange after much debating whether or not to do all black. should have it back next week.

As far as the engine, I don't think I would worry about the 327 so much, as the long runners on the TPI are better suited for torque, and run out of air above 4500 RPM or so anyhow. I think they are about the coolest looking induction system, though.

the reason i was looking at a 327 is to take advantage of the low end capabilities of the TPI system, because a 327 runs out of breath above 5000 anyhow. i want to avoid using ported aftermarket runners/intake because i like the look of the stock runners a lot more than either the accell or the edelbrock. , and afterall the whole reasoning behind the TPI over any other EFI, is purely for looks...
