CHROME ACCESSORIES FOR TBI

First off, I hope this is the right place.
I searched the site with little to no luck. I am looking for chrome engine accessories for the TBI motor, the only part I could find were the valve covers and they were at Pep Boys. So if anyone knows where to get any please post that info here.

Since the TBI essentially uses the same parts as any carbed gen 1 small block, they're all the same: t-stat housing, valve covers, wire looms, air cleaner housing, alternator, and assorted brackets.

Thanks for the response.
I forgot about the t-stat housing , the wire looms are pretty much a universal application.
As for the air cleaner, i'm looking for direct bolt on (no mods) and can any of the brakets (chrome) be found that are a direct bolt on?

What i'm going after here is a stock componet engine with a chromed out finish. I can ship off most of the parts and have them chromed, but I wanted to get everything off the self that I could before doing that.

If you're looking for an air cleaner housing with the snorkel that is chromed, I've never seen anything like that before. However, that thing is absolutely aweful. Noone I know actually keeps that on there. I've seen bracket kits before, but usually for carbed motors, so I'm not sure if all of the throttle linkage stuff will work or not. The rest of it should work. If you just want a chrome open element air cleaner housing, almost any of them out there work (eg, K&N, Moroso, Mr. Gasket, Edelbrock). Then it's just a matter of dropped base or non-drop based etc (you can find more info on that in the TBI forum).

Kinda. The Valve covers on all TBI motors are Centerbolt-style, whereas he may find some that are not centerbolt style.
