gettn to where i need to get the 350 dressed up for spring time. i really drool over the look of finned aluinium valve(sp) covers. BUT. i have a chrome alt. and alt. bracket and chrome oil pan. but have a billet power steering pump bracket.(the only one i find at the time to fit with headers and not rigged up). so the question is. should i keep with all chrome? of slap a set of alum covers and air cleaner on it?. let me know fellas. thanx. w.

i have a set of corvette aluminum finned heads i am going to take of my truck and replace. i will get rid of them. make me an offer i can't refuse!!

Get the finned aluminum covers chromed.

I am going black for all my stuff with a machined edge. I have to clean up my engine this weekend to install my new air filter cover (see avatar).

I have a mix of black/chrome/machined. But it sort of goes with the misdirection my truck is in.
