Question What to chrome

Hey Guys,
I am changing out the engine and was wondering what you guys thought I should send to the chrome shop while I am down. I already am sending the valve covers and timing chain covers. I have the polished pulley wheel and I am painting the KB blower and intake red. I was wondering what else I should send to have chromed.

Thank you for any ideas you might share.
Alvin

How about polishing the intake from the TB to the top of the S/C?

Hey Guys,
Thank everyone for the help, excetp Clonetek (I'll be racing while you are out getting cokes for that lovely lady of yours).

You guys are correct. Thermostat housing, brackets and little stuff like that will work great.

I am having alum valve covers made and I have a REM powertube that is red. I am planning on painting the upper intake and blower to match it.

Thanks again for your help!

Hey Cloney,
I heard the cobra boys were wanting to race for kisses from your beauty, the losser would have to kiss her boots and the winner got those lovely lips. Hell, in my book both are winners! You should see the ugly boots my wife keeps in my face.

Good luck racing this year and be careful. You and my brother are the only two people that speak to me and he certainly doesn't want all my attention back!

Alvin
