Additionally, is the discoloration at the manifold in this photo normal after so few miles?

yeah thats pretty much normal, the paint goes away there fast. if its a scratch "P" in the back its not a marine block, marine blocks aren't sideoilers.
they oil like a 428 or a 390.

don't stress too much over the motor in the car.....how's the rest of the car?
