where to find a chrome water neck? help!

ok......ive checked all over the place. Jegs, jc whitney, summit, edelbrock, even my local auto parts store.....and noones got a chromed water neck for the 305 and 350 that has the "long neck" style. can anyone please help me out bout this? I checked with my local gm dealer and they told me that the ac delco part is discontinued. So i either got to find one already chromed, or go looking in bone yards for one.

get it chromed , anything you buy that is already chromed is most likely cheap crap , especially the ones autozone or other parts stores sell (for carbed cars).

All of that stuff has cheap chroming on it so if you want it to last get it done right somewhere (search google to find some reputable online places that do this , but I'm sure you could find someone local to you as well).
