i suppose this question might be "anti-appearance" to some, but i don't like the chrome look.

i'm looking for new, non chromed valve covers, oil pan, timing chain cover, dipstick tube, etc. Does anybody know of a good, reasonably priced source for this?

thanks for any info

Jc whitney sells a chrome engine kit for your type of engine..i think its less than 100$ and includes quite a few parts with it. [i like the chrome look too]

 

He does not like the chrome look!!

GM, Salvage yard, the classifieds here... You could probably find someone to give you a set of the stock parts.

well,
GM is expensive, junkyard or otherwised used parts are, well, used and usually warped and stuff.
I figure if JC whitney has chrome ones as that rage-filled mustang hater states (maybe therapy would calm him down ), there's gotta be cheap, new unchromed ones available (though maybe unobtainable on a retail level). someone told me american classics has them but they want me to pay for a catalog and I don't do that (it's a priciple thing.)
idunno, just thought i'd see if anybody had a good source. thanks for all the well-meant advice!
