Polishing and chrome

[bleedfordblue]

I am thinking about what to Polish or chrome on the engine. Can I see some engine pictures from stock to chromed out. Thank you

In order to polish something I would think it needs to be aluminum, so intake and valve covers ( not stock).

Not exactly 'stock' engine compartment , but I do have a chrome air cleaner top ( it was actually an optional accessory in chrome back in the 'day' ). header tank, braces and ( not shown ) water pump pulley. I've seen a few cars with the fan shroud chromed...

The LAT factory dress up kit had the filter top chromed, chrome breather cap, dip stick handle and radiator cap. The stock pressed rocker covers were chrome and the optional cast finned and lettered covers cast finish with polished ribs.... So thats the factory dress up ( excluding the cast finned sump)

Some people chrome the scuttle braces and things like heater valve brackets, header tank and brackets and fam shrouds.. Also striker plates and hood hinges... Each to their own.

66TIGERMK1A, I love the look of your engine bay. Did you have the valve covers powered coated and then Polish off the fins? Looks great.

A doctor owned the Tiger before I purchased it in '89- he liked chrome- I have those same Tiger valve covers that are painted black with the highlights buffed out:
