HDDP, The engine will look amazing! Maybe you should consider track/and some shows. I was going to polish my V8 valve covers and some of my hot rod firends told me that the valve covers are magnesium and will drive me crazy if I want to keep them shiny. they suggested Endura Shine powdercoating. I saw this on a small block chevy intake manifold and I counldn't tell if it was chrome or ploshed. to stay in budget, I will most likely be painting mine this weekend.
