    Paint and polish---I am sure by now that you know where I have been on paint and polish------however, my comment was slanted toward the point that if anyone is interested in a newer system for whatever reason---the idea that your engine is already painted or has polished parts, is not/will not be a factor about the capability of the new system---

    Some of the newer systems are plastic/composite so its an issue of paint whereas the older systems being metal can be paint or in the case of alum can be polished. of course then there is BILLET----------------

    Now, for your engine----------IF you are looking for a throttle body based system so that you can keep the air cleaner in the middle of your engine bay----you have two choices--throtthle body injectors ORRRRRRR injectors in the ports, which will require welding bosses in the manifold runners and a fuel rail system with extra plumbing and wiring to the rail/injectors----------
    IFFFFFFFFFFFF you want to go injected, you will have to upgrade several components in your fuel tank/pump/pressure regulators/control--including a key on momentary power to pump to pressurize the system and plumbing for a return to tank of excess fuel----------

    Thanks for info on your pics---I don't do that because I got a 15 mb camera because thats what I want---------

    IFFFFFFFFFF you want to do ported injection, it will require the manifold to be modified / or replaced----------

    Starts to get sorta like politics-----$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$----------If your car is running decently now, I would suggest staying with the Holley carb---and maybe look at the msd system that controls SPARK from manifold and exhaust sensors----------

    Iff you want fuel injection for a driver-look at the later years versions of your engine family for basic system componets and change the visable parts to whatever you want it to look like-----------
